I've been involved +in OpenStack since 2012. We may have interacted when working on Nova, +Devstack, Grenade, debugging the gate, or other areas of the broader +OpenStack project. + +Upgrades are one of the things I'm passionate about in +OpenStack. The kinds of places OpenStack gets installed into don't +always have a change window. Making upgrades painless and boring are +a precondition for anything else OpenStack wants to do, because if +operators don't upgrade their OpenStack environments, they'll never +get any of the new enhancements we are building as a community. + +I really want the end user experience with OpenStack to be better. In +the last cycle I helped spear head the api-ref effort. In a single +cycle our API docs jumped forward to an accuracy level we haven't seen +in years. This was a great community win. I've been championing +getting rid of the extensions mechanism inside Nova, to make it clear +that there is a single compute API, which we expect to see +everywhere. + +Having worked on many efforts within projects, and across projects, I +think I bring a perspective to the TC about where process meets +reality in getting things accomplished. We always need to take steps +forward to advance the agenda, but if we make the steps too high, we +can set folks up for failure. Attainable forward progress creates +success, success creates momentum, and momentum makes more progress +possible. + +I would be honored to serve on the TC again if chosen.
