Hello all,
First of all, I'm incredibly happy that the community has stepped up and provided us the opportunity to avoid any issues at all around company affiliations this cycle. Thank you to all the new folks who have run for the TC and helped with this. My two questions are simple: How much of your workweek is spent focused on upstream OpenStack?How much of that time will be available to use for TC-related activities?
This is a good question (I ask myself every time I run for the TC), and IMO, it is very important to know the available bandwidth for TC activities as TC is an elected position, and members should be committed to the governance activities and contributors' help/expectations. I still have good bandwidth to do upstream activities. I have some downstream work also, but ~70% of my bandwidth is upstream. This is very fortunate for me, and I am thankful to my affiliation for the goal of contributing back to the OSS communities. My time in TC (since starting) is still a priority for me, and you can find me online every day (except when I am on PTO :) ) for TC activities, discussions, or helping with policies. It is difficult to count the exact time, but I can say that I am always (for ~90% of TC activities) available when TC need anything. -gmann
Thanks,Jay Faulkner
