I have +a very relevant background to serving you in the Technical Committee in that +I have done the following during OpenStack development: + +1. Led the development, incubation, and integration of Heat for the first + project to enter what would be a precursor to the Big Tent. +2. Wrote most of the initial commits and contributed heavily to the first + Big Tent project Magnum. +3. Solving the most complex problem OpenStack faces, Deploying the Big Tent, + by serving as PTL of Kolla which I have led from first commit through the + Big Tent process. +4. Top 10 contributor by Person-day effort for Liberty. Top 1% by Person-day + effort for Kilo. Top 1% by Person-day effort for OpenStack project + overall. + +My experience with Heat, Magnum, and Kolla directly relate to the Technical +Committee's charter which is to serve as technical oversight for the OpenStack +project. I am highly interested in growth management of my peers and the +systems and people I involve myself with. I believe it is one of the core +responsibilities of the Technical Committee to provide effective growth +management for the OpenStack ecosystem, in partnership with the OpenStack +Board. + +I can confirm that the original incubation track that Heat executed was highly +painful and very challenging. It was not very inclusive, not documented, and +highly subjective. + +The new Big Tent process is far improved. It is almost completely objective +and measurable which in my opinion leads to high growth in individuals and +systems during their evaluation. + +Most of the work the Technical Committee has done over the last year has been +to make OpenStack more obecjtive and measurable by anyone. I personally feel +this change is fantastic and has unstuck the Technical Committeee. This work +facilitates the growth of OpenStack in general and new projects in particular. + +I want to bring my experience creating new things for OpenStack to bear to +create New Things for the Technical Committee to further acclerate growth. +I would happily accept your vote for the Technical Committee election. + +Regards, +-steve
