It's my 7th year in upstream +developer activities and overall 9th year associated with OpenStack. +I really enjoy my current role in the community. + +I've served as QA PTL for 2 years and currently a core developer in +QA projects and Nova. Also, helping Tempest plugins for bug/Tempest +compatible fixes and co-leader in the policy-popup team to +make Openstack API policy more consistent and secure. + +With my QA, Nova, policy popup team role, I mainly target cross projects +work as my TC responsibility; helping all projects team for the common +work like Migrating the OpenStack CI/CD from Ubuntu Xenial to Bionic in +Stein cycle and Ubuntu Bionic to Focal in Victoria, dropping python2.7 and, +IPv6 deployment testing are the key activities in recent cycles. In my 3rd +continuous cycle as community-wide goal champion, I tried my best to help +in coding/investigation across many projects. + +I am actively involved in programs helping new contributors +in OpenStack like a mentor in the Upstream Institute Training since Barcelona +Summit (Oct 2016)[1] and an active member in FirstContact SIG [2]. +It's always a great experience to introduce OpenStack upstream workflow +to new contributors and encourage them to start contributing which is very +much needed in OpenStack. + +TC direction has always been valuable and helps to keep the common +standards in OpenStack. There is always room for improvement and so +does in TC. I expect more involvement from the community and share +what they expect from TC, and bring up discussions during TC office hours +or meetings. + +In my next term, I would like to continue doing cross-project teams work +for solving the common problem in OpenStack. In the next one or two-cycle, +my main target is to make OpenStack API policy more consistent and secure +as part of the policy popup team. Also, improving TC and team interaction. +More interaction and involvement is the key to improve OpenStack. +With the merging of UC into TC, it's a great opportunity to work together +with the users/operators and collect valuable feedback to implement the +required or priority things. + +Thank you for reading and considering my candidacy. + +Refernce: +* Blogs: https://ghanshyammann.com +* Review: http://stackalytics.com/?release=all&metric=marks&user_id=ghanshyammann&project_type=all +* Commit: http://stackalytics.com/?release=all&metric=commits&user_id=ghanshyammann&project_type=all +* Foundation Profile: https://www.openstack.org/community/members/profile/6461 +* IRC (Freenode): gmann + +[1] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStack_Upstream_Institute_Occasions + https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStack_Upstream_Institute +[2] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/First_Contact_SIG + +- Ghanshyam Mann (gmann)
