Hi Stackers, I want to nominate Hongbin Lu (irc: hongbin) as a member of the Neutron core team. Hongbin started contributing to the OpenStack community in the Liberty cycle. Over time, he made great contributions in helping the community to better support containers by being core team member and / or PTL in projects such as Zun and Magnum. An then, fortune played in our favor and Hongbin joined the Neutron team in the Queens cycle. Since then, he has made great contributions such as filters validation in the ReST API, PF status propagation to to VFs (ports) in SR-IOV environments and leading the forking of RYU into the os-ken OpenStack project, which provides key foundational functionality for openflow. He is not a man who wastes words, but when he speaks up, his opinions are full of insight. This is reflected in the quality of his code reviews, which in number are on par with the leading members of the core team: http://stackalytics.com/?module=neutron-group. Even though Hongbin leaves in Toronto, he speaks Mandarin Chinese and was born and raised in China. This is a big asset in helping the Neutron team to incorporate use cases from that part of the world. Hongbin spent the past few months being mentored by Slawek Kaplonski, who has reported that Hongbin is ready for the challenge of being a core team member. I (and other core team members) concur. I will keep this nomination open for a week as customary. Thank you Miguel
