Open Stack

Hi All,

As a member of the OpenStack Foundation staff I have 100% of my time dedicated to the community let that be working with our ecosystem members, helping new contributors to join or keeping contact and accelerate collaboration with adjacent communities.

Defining an exact amount of time might be challenging as I see plenty of overlapping between my tasks and the TC’s scope, which means many of my activities serve multiple purpose. While we all have different load on a weekly basis I’m dedicated to secure enough time and focus on average to be a reliable and valuable TC member.

As others before me pointed out very well picking one item is very hard, nearly impossible. I always search for the relation between items and challenges along with observing the different aspects of them. My main focus areas currently are Telecom/NFV and the Upstream Institute activities. One of the connection points between these two is on-boarding, which I would like to highlight here as the ONE.

While we’ve already come a long way with working together with the Telecom industry we still have a long journey ahead of us. On-boarding boils down to be and remain to be an open and open minded community and a helpful environment. In my view accepting new developers and new technologies requires very similar skills and mindset and requires us to keep OpenStack a welcoming and also an innovative place, where I would like to refer back to the challenges mentioned in an earlier discussion on this thread about allowing competition and exploring new ideas and ways of doing things.

Being or not being a TC member, my pick is to continue helping with the different aspects of on-boarding and make the teams along with the technical committee and community to be more open to accept new members with new view points and ideas and improve communication and collaboration between the related parties. In my opinion this helps to improve and maintain our solid and stable basis which makes us being able to deal with the technical and collaboration challenges - listed on this thread - together.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ildikó
