There is never a shortage of work to be done and I feel +there is still a lot I can do to help the community as a part of the TC. + +I served as TC Vice Chair during the second half of my term and I felt +like I was able to do a lot to help support Mohammed, the chair and other +members of the TC. My work in coordinating the new office hours and our +time at the upcoming PTG will enable the future TC to be more accessible +and productive. I also lead the community goal to improve the onboarding +documentation, further lowering the barrier for new contributors. + +If elected, I will continue bridging our community with the kubernetes +community. I am actively facilitating the conversations between the TC +and the k8s Technical Steering Committee at the upcoming PTG meetings +to share insight between both of our communities and generally share +knowledge about keeping open source communities healthy. + +I would also like to take a more active role in pushing the unification +of the community around a single CLI to simplify openstack operations +to better support our users and lessen the load on developers. I think +a good first step would be to work with the CLI/SDK team to build a list +of items that are blocking project teams from fully implementing all their +features in the openstack client. From there we can figure out what is +missing from the list, which teams are affected by which blocking items +and prioritize what needs to be worked on first. + +Thank you for your time and consideration. + +As I said in my platform last year, I love this community and all the +awesome people in it, serving on the TC is a great experience and an honor. + +-Kendall Nelson (diablo_rojo)
