> I work at HP where I lead a team of people who staff the rest of the CI

> OpenStack Dev systems always have the resources they need to operate
> effectively. Before HP I worked at Rackspace doing the same thing.

> Before OpenStack at Rackspace I was a core developer on Drizzle, having

> by Oracle. I was lucky enough to get involved in Drizzle hacking from
> the beginning of that project while I was a Senior Consultant for MySQL
> Inc (and then for Sun when we got bought) Although it doesn't come up in
> this context very often, I'm pretty stinking good at MySQL Scaling and
> High Availability. I've been a Python hacker since I wrote the SNPP
> protocol library for Python in 2000, and have experience as both a
> developer and a *nix sysadmin stretching back to 1994.

> - Why I should be on the Technical Committee -
>
> The TC provides direction to the project as a whole and acts as a
> collaboration point and focus for consensus between the projects. Often
> times things that are decided by the TC have a direct effect on the
> automation systems that we use to run things ... so having someone from
> the CI and Automation teams represented seems like a really good idea.
> Additionally, since I tend to be cross-project focused rather than
> involved in any one specific project, I'd like to think that I have a
> decent unbiased perspective on issues that are related to project
> agreement and consistency.

> Thanks for your consideration!
