Open Stack

Thanks Nithya. I've attached the email from Tony Breeds on the TC Election Process. I assume that ATCs will receive an email n 10/2 when the elections open with a link or more info. Are you an ATC?

Good going Carol.   As I do not spend too much time the groups, could you or someone else give me more specifics on how to support you.

Team - I want to let you know that I have decided to run for the TC. I think I can help the community be stronger and our software development more impactful.

If you're an ATC (ie. someone who can vote), I would appreciate your consideration.
Thanks
Carol

I am writing to announce my candidacy a position on the TC.

I am not your typical candidate, which is one reason that I am asking for your vote. I have a technical background, with over a decade of software development experience. I have a marketing background, with over a decade of Technology, Product and Brand marketing experience. I have a business development background and have been an entrepreneur. I have been a product manager and a software planner. It's this combination of experiences that I have accumulated during my almost 35 years in the technology industry that I believe will enable me to provide unique value as a member of the TC.

I have been an active member in the community since 2013, working with Community teams to understand market-segment needs and/or barriers to their deployment of OpenStack and bringing that information to the Community in the form of specs, blueprints, prototypes and user stories (Win The Enterprise WG, Enterprise WG, Product WG). These teams have brought resources to develop these capabilities (one example is improving upgrade capabilities through versioned objects implementation) and have been able to close gaps resulting in expanding Enterprise deployments of OpenStack.

I believe that a diverse Community will enable us to develop more innovative software that will meet the needs of global markets. I work with both the Diversity Working Group and the Women of OpenStack to help strengthen the diversity of our Community.

As a TC member, I will work to support our success by utilizing my project/program management experience. Specifically, I will:
1.      Tap the collective market knowledge within our Community to identify innovative capabilities that will define the defacto cloud computing platform of the future.
2.       Work to bring projects together to define and implement cross-project capabilities and initiatives.
3.       Support the development of a multi-release roadmap definition and communication process.

As cross-project coordination needs expand and concepts like big tent stretch our capabilities, I believe that my skill-sets, experiences, and values align well with the emerging needs within our community.

I would appreciate the opportunity to further my contributions to our Community and thank you for your consideration.

Carol Barrett
