+Hi,
+
+I am declaring my candidacy for the Technical Committee.
+
+I have been working on OpenStack since 2012, primarily as core
+reviewer on and contributor to Nova and Glance, but also in various
+other projects such as Oslo (oslo.versionedobjects, oslo.messaging),
+Placement, Grenade, and devstack. I have also been involved in trying
+to push the RBAC work to a meaningful and deliverable milestone after
+years of struggle.
+
+I have been on the TC for a couple years now, and have been focused on
+keeping the TC aware and involved with day-to-day developer-facing
+issues, such as gate performance. That has gone well and yielded
+improvement in reducing spurious failures across multiple projects, as
+well as paring down of duplicative testing and addressing other
+performance issues. I also championed the effort to define a modified
+slow/fast release cycle to address operational concerns about release
+frequency.  If reelected, I expect to be involved in the actual
+process of bringing that to fruitition.
+
