I have served on the +Technical Committee for the last five years, including as Chair during +the last term. I have also been PTL of the Oslo and Release Management +teams at different points in the past. + +I have spent most of my time in all of those roles over the last few +years making incremental improvements in our ability to collaborate +while building OpenStack, including initiatives such as leading the +current community goal to run CI jobs under Python 3 by default [1]; +coordinating last year's documentation migration; and updating our +dependency management system to make it easier for projects to run +stand-alone. + +During my time serving as TC Chair, I have tried to update the way the +group works with the community. We started by performing a "health +check" for all of our project teams [2], as a way to spot potential +issues teams are experiencing that we can help with, and to encourage TC +members to learn more about teams they may not interact with on a +daily basis. We will be reviewing the results at the PTG [3], and +continuing to refine that process. + +I have also had a few opportunities this year to share our governance +structure with other communities [4][5]. It's exciting to be able to +talk to them about how the ideals and principles that hold our +community together can also apply to their projects. + +The OpenStack community continues to be the most welcoming group I +have interacted with in more than 25 years of contributing to open +source projects. I look forward to another opportunity to serve the +project through the Technical Committee over the coming year. + +Thank you, +Doug + +Review history: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/reviewer:2472,n,z +Commit history: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/owner:2472,n,z +Foundation Profile: http://www.openstack.org/community/members/profile/359 +Freenode: dhellmann +Website: https://doughellmann.com + +[1] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/goals/stein/python3-first.html +[2] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStack_health_tracker +[3] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/tc-stein-ptg +[4] https://doughellmann.com/blog/2018/08/21/planting-acorns/ +[5] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-8002/
