Rather than the usual platform where I drone on +and on about myself, I'm going to take this opportunity to run a +public service announcement instead. + +Going into my second term I stated, "my personal vision for +OpenStack is that of a vibrant and diverse community" and I think +we've made progress on that front but still have a long way to go. +The diversity (personal, professional and cultural) of our community +has increased steadily, but we won't be able to sustain it if +similar diversity among elected leaders continues to lag behind. Our +leaders are frequently the faces of our community to those outside +it, and should set an example for others to follow. OpenStack is +built on a promise of representative leadership, and so we need +people from under-represented segments of our community to stand and +take up the challenge. There's just over 48 hours left to send in +your self-nomination for a seat on the TC. If you can't meet the +time commitments but know someone who can, encourage them to run. + +And, of course, when the time comes, vote. Vote for the candidates +who best represent you, your beliefs, your ideals. Vote for those +who share your vision for who, how and what OpenStack should be. If +you've been paying attention these past years, you already know my +opinions. I'd rather hear some new opinions from you.
