Just wanted to echo Thierry's words here as a new TC Member this year.

Would love to see more users/operators joining us and bringing new 
perspectives.

The additional time commitment has not been significant and being a part 
of the TC has given me a new perspective of the OpenStack community that 
I feel has been beneficial.

So, if you are able, please take the time to consider this opportunity!
