+Hereby I am declaring my candidacy for the Technical Committee.
+
+My involvement with OpenStack began in 2014 and I've since become core
+reviewer for a number of projects, including Designate, Devstack and
+Kolla/Kolla-Ansible.
+
+Since 2018 I'm also a member of what is now called the OpenDev infra
+root team, trying to keep the CI setup and supporting infrastructure
+working.
+
+I don't have much of an agenda, just to keep doing what I've been doing
+for some time now and trying to ensure that the focus on openness stays
+alive in the community.
