Hello Stackers,
|
||||
|
||||
Subject: [tc][election] gouthamr's TC Candidacy for 2024.2
|
||||
|
||||
I'm expressing my interest to join the OpenStack Technical Committee with your
|
||||
acceptance. I have had a long and exciting stint with OpenStack; and can
|
||||
probably claim to have evolved along with it. I began my active contribution
|
||||
journey in the Liberty release, and have had the pleasure to build a community
|
||||
around the OpenStack Manila project for most of this time. In many ways, my
|
||||
efforts here were rooted in the core ideology of this community: the fervent
|
||||
desire for openness that drives each decision [1]. I coupled that with my own
|
||||
penchant for mentoring; the result of which is a vast number of new
|
||||
contributors in the form of Outreachy, Google Summer of Code, Grace Hopper
|
||||
Celebrations, and student projects with numerous universities. All of this was
|
||||
done with similarly motivated fellow conspirators. This experience has
|
||||
helped me foster the diversity of thought in our community, and provided
|
||||
sustained energy to a small group of people chopping wood and carrying water
|
||||
around software whose relevance transcends hype cycles.
|
||||
|
||||
I now wish to employ this energy and experience in service as a member of the
|
||||
TC. I set out the following goals to drive within the team:
|
||||
|
||||
* Sustain and improve collaboration: I wish to extend TC's charter on
|
||||
investment opportunities with the "formal" mentorship engagements we have had
|
||||
in the community, including but not limited to Outreachy, GSOC, GSOD, GHC and
|
||||
university projects. I've new ideas here, and feel like a TC member can add a
|
||||
ton of excitement to this niche area of people enthusiastic to do this year
|
||||
on year.
|
||||
* Commit to a closer collaboration with adjacent communities: I am inspired
|
||||
by our willingness to engage with maintainers of software that work with
|
||||
OpenStack. My pitch is for us to identify TC representation within projects
|
||||
like Ceph, Kubernetes and others for active and periodic communication.
|
||||
* Drive long running efforts to completion: prime examples here are efforts for
|
||||
coherence for operators and users: Unified CLI, Limits, and Secure RBAC
|
||||
defaults.
|
||||
|
||||
Thank you for considering my candidacy. I look forward to the opportunity
|
||||
to serve our community and contribute to the continued success of OpenStack.
|
||||
|
||||
Warm regards,
|
||||
|
||||
Goutham Pacha Ravi (gouthamr)
