Currently, +I am an engineering leader at Rackspace. Where I've worked on +Rackspace's OpenStack Public Cloud product since 2017. My current focus +is on revitalizing our internal OpenStack usage, specifically from on +the technical side, with my team spearheading bringing Ironic uniformly +to all of our global data centers. + +I am an active contributor to the Ironic and the OpenStack Helm +projects. My background includes approximately two decades as a Gentoo +Linux developer, during which I served on the Gentoo Council, a role +akin to the Technical Committee. Furthermore, I have been a maintainer +for the Xen Project and libvirt, and have been an active Linux kernel +contributor and to the Rust programming language. I continue to +maintain several of Rust crates, Go lang libraries and Python +libraries. + +My approach to software engineering is centered on automation, +reproducibility, maintainability and consistency. I firmly believe +that fostering collaboration and adopting shared solutions through +open source results in a better overall solution and a stronger +system. + +If elected to the TC, I am committed to encouraging greater +contributions from corporate members. I will start this by driving +increased involvement from my own organization, Rackspace and have +already started this within my own team where they are becoming +involved and are making contributions to the projects we rely on +today. Additionally, I am passionate about improving dependency +management and the tooling used by OpenStack projects, with a focus +on CI, the release process, deployment and adopting more coding +best practices. + +Thank you for your consideration. + +Doug Goldstein +cardoe@cardoe.com +OFTC: cardoe
