Open Stack

Greetings Stackers! I'm announcing my candidacy for the Technical
Committee Elections.

Those of you who have been involved in OpenStack most likely know me,
as I was part of the original team from Rackspace that created
OpenStack in 2010. For the past year or so I have been employed at IBM
to work on 100% upstream OpenStack development. Part of that time has
been spent getting a good overview of both the project and the
community behind it. I've also placed some of my focus on the groups
of people working *with* OpenStack, and not just those developing it.
And to that end I've been working with the current TC as much as
possible, especially in the areas of API standardization and
consistency. I'm always lurking on the regular TC meetings (and
sometimes throwing in my two cents), and reviewing as much of the
material as I can. I believe that I can have a much greater impact as
part of the TC instead of just being that occasional voice from the
back of the room.

There are some good reasons not to vote for me: the other TC
candidates. I wish I could run on a "throw out the bums" platform, but
that's simply not possible.  I know all the current members, and they
have all done an excellent job this past year, and would all represent
the community well if re-elected. I can only promise that if elected,
I will work hard to have at least as much positive impact on the
community as the TC member I might replace. That will be a difficult
task indeed, but I believe that I have the long-term experience to
help guide OpenStack as it continues to grow and thrive in the future.
