Re: TC seats, I'd like to encourage people with operational experience of OpenStack to run for election. We have lots of OpenStack users. Our focus today is more on continuously improving the experience of running OpenStack. Filling the gaps rather than developing radically-new breaking features. Integrating with other open infrastructure software that you run alongside it. So, in governance and key policy decisions, we rely on the feedback of people that have practical experience operating the software. Having more of those directly involved in the TC will facilitate that feedback loop, and make sure we take into account a wide variety of situations. Being on the TC is not as time consuming as you might think. The time-consuming part is trying to stay on top of what's happening with OpenStack: I would say that being on the TC just adds a max of two hours per week (reviewing proposed changes, chiming in on governance discussions on the mailing-list, attending some weekly office hours or the monthly meeting). But it is a great way to make sure the direction of the software is aligned to your needs as an OpenStack user, and the needs of other users in a similar situation. Thanks for considering it! -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
