Friends and Colleagues,
|
||
|
||
I would like to submit my candidacy to serve as Ironic PTL for the Antelope
|
||
cycle.
|
||
|
||
To introduce myself, if we have not met, I'm Jay Faulkner. I've been building
|
||
and running Ironic off and on for eight years. In my career, I've seen and
|
||
helped Ironic run in a variety of ways: as a part of OnMetal – the first bare
|
||
metal public cloud, internal clouds that stretch the limits of our software,
|
||
and as an upstream contributor without any operational responsibilities.
|
||
|
||
First and foremost, my new employer, G-Research Open Source Software, has
|
||
agreed to prioritize my upstream work in Ironic and to support me if elected
|
||
as PTL. This means that the Ironic project will be able to have a leader with
|
||
minimal downstream responsibilities, able to be fully dedicated to helping
|
||
Ironic run smoothly.
|
||
|
||
One of the things I've appreciated about the Ironic community as it has evolved
|
||
is our ability to gain consensus due to a large amount of trust and shared
|
||
context. This makes the role of PTL in our community not one of power but
|
||
instead a role of service. That's why, if elected, I intend to maintain that
|
||
focus on service to the community and will dedicate my time to getting as much
|
||
of the invisible but necessary work done as possible. My goal is to remove the
|
||
annoying bits and enable the rest of the community to keep improving Ironic.
|
||
|
||
Finally, I want to thank Iury: he’s been a great PTL in the last cycle, and I
|
||
know we’ll be in good hands if the community chooses to continue with his
|
||
leadership.
|
||
|
||
Thanks,
|
||
Jay Faulkner
