Greetings, I'd like to announce my candidacy for the OpenStack User Committee (UC). I'm involved with OpenStack since 2011 when CERN started to investigate a Cloud Infrastructure solution. I work in the design/deployment/operation of the CERN OpenStack Cloud (from 0 to +300k cores). My particular interest has been how to scale and operate large OpenStack deployments. I was an active member of the Large Deployment Team (LDT), a group of operators that shared ideas on how to scale OpenStack. I had the privilege to learn from a talented group of Operators on how they manage/run their infrastructures. I'm fortunate enough to have attended all OpenStack Summits since San Francisco (2012). I'm a regular speaker talking about my experience operating OpenStack at scale. Also, I serve regularly as a track chair, participated in few OpenStack Days, Ops Meetups and wrote several blog posts. I believe that the Operators/User community should have an active role in the design of the next features for the OpenStack/Open Infrastructure projects. If elected I will focus to engage the Operator/Users community with the different Development teams. It would be an honor to be an advocate of this great community and promote its mission. Thank you for your consideration, Belmiro Moreira
