+Dear all,
+I'd like to announce my candidacy for the OpenStack Technical Committee (TC).
+
+For all of you that don’t know me, I would like to briefly introduce myself.
+
+I work in the design/deployment/operation of the CERN OpenStack Cloud.
+I'm involved with OpenStack since 2011 when CERN started to investigate a
+Cloud Infrastructure solution.
+
+My particular interest has been on how to scale and operate large OpenStack
+deployments.
+I was an active member of the old Large Deployment Team (LDT), a group of
+operators that shared ideas on how to scale OpenStack. I had the privilege
+to learn from a talented group of Operators on how they manage/run their
+infrastructures.
+More recently a new group was created (Large Scale SIG) where I continue to
+have an active role.
+
+I'm very fortunate to have attended most of the OpenStack Summits since San
+Francisco (2012). I'm a regular speaker talking about my experience operating
+OpenStack at scale.
+Also, I serve regularly as a track chair, participated in a few OpenStack Days,
+Ops Meetups and write several blog posts about OpenStack operations.
+
+Previously, I also served as a member of the OpenStack User Committee (UC).
+
+During the last year, I’ve been serving on the OpenStack TC. It was a great
+experience but it also comes with a learning curve. I was able to contribute
+my operator/user experience in several important discussions.
+
+If elected, I will continue to focus on engaging the Operator/Users community
+with the different Development teams and continue to bring my experience as an
+operator/user to the OpenStack TC.
+It would be an honor to continue to be an advocate of this great community and
+promote its mission.
+
+Thank you for your consideration,
+Belmiro Moreira
