Subject: [Openstack-operators] It's time...<br>
<br>
Hi all,<br>
<br>
Tom here, on a personal note.<br>
<br>
It's quite fitting that this November our summit is in Australia :)<br>
<br>
I'm hoping to see you there because after being part of 15 releases, and<br>
travelling the equivalent of a couple of round trips to the moon to<br>
witness OpenStack grow around the world, the timing is right for me to<br>
step down as your Community Manager.<br>
<br>
We've had an incredible journey together, culminating in the healthy<br>
community we have today. Across more than 160 countries, users and<br>
developers collaborate to make clouds better for the work that matters.<br>
The diversity of use is staggering, and the scale of resources being run<br>
is quite significant. We did that :)<br>
<br>
<br>
Behind the scenes, I've spent the past couple of months preparing to<br>
transition various tasks to other members of the Foundation staff. If<br>
you see a new name behind an <a href="http://openstack.org" target="_blank">openstack.org</a> email address, please give<br>
them due attention and care - they're all great people. I'll be around<br>
through to year end to shepherd the process, so please ping me if you<br>
are worried about anything.<br>
<br>
Always remember, you are what makes OpenStack. OpenStack changes and<br>
thrives based on how you feel and what work you do. It's been a<br>
privilege to share the journey with you.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
So, my plan? After a decade of diligent effort in organisations<br>
euphemistically described as "minimally-staffed", I'm looking forward to<br>
taking a decent holiday. Though, if you have a challenge interesting<br>
enough to wrest someone from a tropical beach or a misty mountain top ... ;)<br>
<br>
<br>
There are a lot of you out there to whom I remain indebted. Stay in<br>
touch to make sure your owed drinks make it to you!<br>
