                Stackers, I would like to put my candidacy for a
                position on the OpenStack Technical Committee. I have
                been an active OpenStack contributor for over a year, my
                work mostly concentrated around improving existing
                OpenStack code
                (unifying common parts of OpenStack projects and putting
                them to oslo, improving performance and test coverage,
                fixing bugs). In the previous cycles I have been
                focusing on improving OpenStack Database code, improving
                its performance, fixing a lot of nasty bugs,
                making it more maintainable, durable and backward
                compatible. I lead the community effort across all core
                projects to centralize database </span></font></p>

                into oslo-incubator (others will be switched in
                IceHouse). In addition to being an active contributor, I
                spend a lot of time helping newcomers to OpenStack to
                become better Open Source citizens. During Havana I
                coordinated the activies of 16 of my team members across
                several projects (nova, oslo, cinder and glance) which
                helped Mirantis
                to make a meaningful contribution to OpenStack: <a

                Currently I am focusing on the goal of consistently
                improving OpenStack performance at scale, arguably one
                of the biggest challenges across all of OpenStack. I
                believe that the problem with scale and performance
                could be solved easily by the community. The main
                problem is that contributors don’t have an easy way to
                see how their commits affect performance at scale. This
                is why two months ago (with the help of four of my
                colleagues) I started work on project Rally (The
                OpenStack Benchmark System). Rally allows everyone to
                see, close to real life, the performance of the
                OpenStack cloud at scale. This system will be closely
                integrated with the existing OpenStack CI, making the
                process of tuning OpenStack scalability and performance
                simple and transparent for everybody.

                I believe that at this point in time, the focus of the
                community ought to shift to enabling our customers to
                adopt OpenStack in real production use cases. This means
                that such issues as performance, quality, reliability,
                maintainability and scalability should get a higher
                priority, and as a member of the OpenStack TC, I would
                like to become a strong advocate for making OpenStack
