+Dear OpenStack users and developers,
+
+I'm re-submitting my candidacy for a position in the OpenStack TC for the
+upcoming 6 months.
+
+I believe that being involved in many facets surrounding OpenStack makes me
+a good candidate to be a member of the technical committee.
+
+On one of the most important sides, the community:  I have spoken to countless
+users, potential users of OpenStack and continue to have conversations about
+why users choose OpenStack and the reason why they do not want to use it.  I
+think having this external feedback is extremely beneficial in order to take
+the best decisions, as those users are impacted by our very decisions.
+
+At the same time, thinking about developers who work hard on our community
+to produce the awesome technology we work on:  I have personally been one of
+them and continue to be one of them.  I have started contributing to OpenStack
+since 2011 across many projects and I am the current PTL for the Puppet
+OpenStack team.  In addition, I continue to assist and fix any issues that I
+see at hand, helping out the infrastructure team when needed as well.
+
+Finally, one of the critical points is deployers:  I have architected, operated
+and deployed our public cloud with OpenStack since 2011, in addition to many
+other private cloud deployments.  Our public cloud has a long history, having
+started it's life early and undergone many upgrades.  I have personally
+overseen all those upgrades and brought feedback directly back to projects
+as well as including bug fixes for the projects.
+
+I believe strong leadership comes from setting an example.  With the involvement
+in the community, working with the developers and being a deployer myself that
+contributes back, I believe that it puts me in a unique position to understand
+many parts of the equation that helps us take the best decisions in order to
+have a sustainable technical future for the OpenStack projects.
+
+I strongly believe that we have the most solid fundamental infrastructure
+software at the moment.  However, I think that the focus should increase in
+working with other external communities which depend on infrastructure to
+increase our implementations.  For example, working with Kubernetes in order
+to strengthen the cloud providers and perhaps get even more integration features
+such as auto-scaling.  This will solidify OpenStack as the best set of
+infrastructure services in the market.
+
+In addition, I believe that we should put more effort and try to encourage
+more work on projects which abstract existing complicated software into a
+service.  The few projects that come into mind are Magnum (deploying container
+orchestration services) and Sahara (big data platforms).  Those projects can
+help make OpenStack a single centralized unit where users can get infrastructure
+but easy access to services, on-demand, built with best practices and integrated
+with the external tools as explained in the paragraph above.
+
+As I continue from my past nomination email which I do believe strongly in, I
+think that we need to work to solidify OpenStack for new use cases such as
+edge computing.  By encouraging our developers to keep this new use cases for
+our users, I think that we can spark a big new interest in the OpenStack
+platform in general as the ideal place to host your workloads.
+
+For me, OpenStack is a wonderful community filled with awesome people who are
+all extremely supportive of each other and work together.  I am extremely
+proud to be part of this wonderful community and I hope that by becoming an
+elected TC, I can help the success of all OpenStack projects from my experience.
+
+Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and I wish the best of
+luck to all other candidates.
+
+Regards,
+Mohammed Naser
