[election][tc] Candidacy for the TC
by James Page 15 Feb '23

15 Feb '23

Hi All, I'd like to announce my candidacy for the Technical Committee. For those of you who do not know me, I've been involved with OpenStack from the very early days of the project. I've attended many OpenStack summits and Project Teams Gatherings over the years and have been privileged to help the project grow from its small beginnings to the established cloud platform that it has now become. I was the main driver behind migration of the OpenStack Charms to its current home as an official OpenStack project which I then led for many cycles as PTL and I remain an active core developer on this project. I also work as part of the team responsible for the packaging and distribution of OpenStack as part of Ubuntu. I've spent time in the past contributing to oslo.messaging (ZeroMQ prototyping) and contributing minor fixes across other OpenStack projects through my work in Ubuntu. More recently I’ve been involved in the design of enabling support for the current and next generation of hardware offload enabled network cards in OVN and OpenStack and I'm currently working on there-design of the OpenStack Charms deployment approach. I have not served on the TC before but I believe I can bring a valuable technical voice from an OpenStack distribution and deployment tooling perspective. For the majority of operators this will be their primary route for adoption of OpenStack as a cloud platform. As a member of the TC I would look for opportunities to enable better collaboration between deployment projects and core projects to ensure that OpenStack becomes easier to consume. Thank you for taking the time to consider my candidacy for this role. Regards James Page (irc:jamespage) Principal Software Engineer Canonical

[election][ptl][puppet] Candidacy for 2023.2 Bobcat
by Takashi Kajinami 15 Feb '23

15 Feb '23

Hello, I'd like to announce my candidacy for the PTL role in Puppet OpenStack, to continue my PTL role for the Bobcat cycle. For the recent few cycles we have successfully updated our modules to keep them up-to-date with the OpenStack projects and underlying operating systems (such as CentOS Stream 9 or Ubuntu 22.04). I expect the next cycle would be a stable one compared to the past cycles because of no major changes we are aware of now, and I'd like to focus more on items to make our future maintenance easier * Adapt to updates in each component * Review status of our modules and remove unmaintained ones or implementations Thank you for your consideration. Thank you, Takashi Kajinami (irc: tkajinam)

[election][ptl][heat] Candidacy for 2023.2 Bobcat
by Takashi Kajinami 15 Feb '23

15 Feb '23

Hello, I'd like to announce my candidacy for Heat PTL during the Bobcat cycle. I've been contributing to the project for several cycles and one of the core reviewers in the project. My contribution has been focusing on keeping our CI green so that we can merge new changes such as bug fixes or new features. For this cycle I'd like to propose a few items as focus items. * Keep CI green This is our top priority. Keeping CI healthy is very important so that we can operate the project properly. * Adapt to changes in the other projects Because heat relies on the other projects such as Nova to create resources, it's important to adapt to the changes in underlying components (eg. API microversions). * Migration to OpenStack SDK This is currently important work so that some other projects such as Neutron can complete migration from own client libraries. We already have some patches proposed by Neutron cores (Thank you !) and reviewing and merging these patches would be prioritized for the next cycle. Thank you for your consideration ! Thank you, Takashi Kajinami (irc: tkajinam)

by Slawek Kaplonski 15 Feb '23

15 Feb '23

Hi Stackers, I want to propose my candidacy to the Technical Committee.I have been working on OpenStack for many years. I am a member of the Neutron drivers team and a core reviewer in the Neutron project. I was also the Neutron PTL in the past.One year ago, I became a member of the Technical Committee and I want to continue working for the OpenStack community in the upcoming year. During this year in the TC, I have been working on improving the stability of our CI jobs and various aspects of the infra resources usage, like monitoring and optimizing the number of "rechecks", especially "bare" rechecks done without giving any reason. I have also been working on the definition of the "emerging" and inactive projects and on improving how we monitor activity in the OpenStack projects. Thank you for considering my candidacy for the Technical Committee. -- Slawek Kaplonski Principal Software Engineer Red Hat

[election][tc] TC Candidacy for Bobcat
by Nikolla, Kristi 15 Feb '23

15 Feb '23

Hi all, I am announcing my candidacy to continue working on the OpenStack Technical Committee for another year[1][2]. I'm a software engineer at the MOC Alliance[0], an initiative from major universities in the Boston area to create and operate public and open clouds. I've been involved with OpenStack for the past 8 years as a user, operator, developer, and community member. I have also served as the PTL of Keystone[3][4]. I am passionate about open source, governance, and keeping the community healthy and I believe I bring a different perspective to the Technical Committee thanks to working for academia. My focus in the previous term as well as in the coming one will continue to be in facilitating discussions, whether they are internal to a team, between project teams, or between OpenStack and other projects. In pursuit of that goal, I ran unsuccessfully for chair of the Technical Committee, which I plan to do so again this cycle If I am re-elected. I also assisted in running the Antelope cycle elections and I plan on continuing to assist with them. Please allow me once again the honor of representing you, and the opportunity to continue contributing to the community that I owe so much to and want to see grow and succeed. Thank you for your time and consideration, Kristi Nikolla (he/him) [0]. https://massopen.cloud [1]. https://opendev.org/openstack/election/raw/branch/master/candidates/victori… [2]. https://opendev.org/openstack/election/raw/branch/master/candidates/zed/TC/… [3]. https://opendev.org/openstack/election/raw/branch/master/candidates/victori… [4]. https://opendev.org/openstack/election/raw/branch/master/candidates/wallaby…
