Hi,
This is Jaesuk Ahn from OpenStack Korea User Group. I would like announce my candidacy to serve as the User Committee.
As a strong advocate of OpenStack community, I have been involved in OpenStack from 2010, founded OpenStack Korea Community in 2011, and been a coordinator of the Korea community since then. I have devoted myself to build an open and healthy local community, in addition, I have always been trying to be a good arbitrator between local and global community to embrace a diversity together.
Here are articles about various events that I have been one of main organizers and program chair of the events [1], [2], [3]. Please see the presentation [4] I did with two other community leaders on how we have built community in Korea.
From a technical point of view, I have been leading OpenStack dev team since 2010. I have switched companies during those years but was able to focus on one thing: deployment automation & lifecycle management of OpenStack. OpenStack-Helm, and Airship are the most recent efforts on this line of work in my career. Here is my linkedin profile stating my work during the last 10 years [5].
I am currently leading a development team to work on openstack-on-kubernetes in SK Telecom. I have made an architectural decision to leverage kubernetes for OpenStack lifecycle management in 2016, that this decision eventually led us to collaborate with AT&T team. As a result of community collaboration with AT&T, I am happy to see both OpenStack-Helm project and Airship project active in the community.
if I am chosen by the community, I am fully committed to hear various voices from many community members, especially from community members who has difficulties in language and time barrier. I will do my best to collaborate with others to make OpenStack community more diverse and active.
