I have also been in attendance at every summit since the Cactus summit. My focus in OpenStack has been on the usability and functionality of the stack (with an operators viewpoint). On the installation and configuration side of things, I have been heavily involved in the stack forge chef-cookbooks project, as a contributor and core reviewer. Over the last development cycle, I have participated in the TC acting as a proxy representative for Dolph Mathews.

Clearly laying out the requirements and expectations for the programs entering and exiting the incubation phase will require a broad view of the project as a whole. This will require a lot of interaction between the TC, PTLs, and the UC to make sure that OpenStack continues solving problems for the user and operator communities.
