I believe that OpenStack has now reached the point of maturity where Operator and Deployer perspectives need to have a strong voice in how the services evolve. My position in HP as the architect for the Infrastructure service of HP's Public Cloud, as well as being an active contributor and reviewer to Nova, puts me in a strong position to provide those perspectives.

Although still in its early days, that new process has had very positive feedback, and is an example of the kind of areas where I think the TC should be seeking to make a difference across all projects.

Each project has its own highly skilled, and to a degree specialized, community and a list of features that they want to introduce, and I want to see the TC play a role in monitoring those changes to look for, and seek to resolve, conflicts and overlaps.    This is a role I already play with HP, and I would welcome the opportunity to bring that experience to OpenStack.
