<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Hi - I am announcing my candidacy for the OpenStack Technical Committee for the upcoming term.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Currently, I am a Data Center Software Planner at Intel. I have been an active member in the community since 2013, working with Community teams to understand market needs and bring that information
to the Community (in the form of specs, blueprints, prototypes and user stories) and developing materials to speed planning for, and adoption of OpenStack (multi-release roadmaps, Reference Architectures, Customer Testimonials, Evaluation and Deployment guides,
etc). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">As a TC member, I will work to support our success by utilizing my areas of expertise. Specifically, you can expect me to:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">1) Collaborate to more tightly integrate requirements from our Markets into the Specification, Design and Development processes across projects.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">2) Establish a mechanism for tracking the implementation of specifications and communicating progress and plans to our Markets and ecosystem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">3) Foster discussion on the future direction for our Community and our software. What’s the vision of the Data Center of the Future? What is needed to realize that? How do we make sure that OpenStack
is the preferred Cloud Platform in this future environment?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">4) Work to ensure we have a thriving community that welcomes all comers and supports them to become contributing members and leaders.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">We have a lot of opportunity for growth and success. I would like to join the TC to help our Community realize this potential.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Thank you for your consideration<o:p></o:p></span></p>
