Open Stack

Been chewing on this thread for a while.... I think I should advocate the other direction.

I think most folks will come from PTL as its an easier path to get votes. So I don't  see that as underrepresented.

Getting some diversity of ideas from outside of those from PTL's is probably a good idea for the overall health of OpenStack. What about Users that have never been PTL's? Not developers?

Thanks,
Kevin

I think have a requirement of having been a PTL could be reasonable.
Given the fact that I feel I have a hard enough time doing all I want to
do as PTL, I wouldn't want to add TC at the same time.  Would want to
feel like I was doing it at a time where I could give it the appropriate
attention.
