That desire for the common good +is the driving force behind my involvement in OpenStack, which I hope to +see as a vibrant and thriving community for years to come. + +Have things changed? Yes, I think they are ever evolving. I think we can only +take the logical paths that we see before us at the time. Does this mean +we will make mistakes? Absolutely, but mistakes are also opportunities +to learn and evolve as time goes on; which perhaps is an unspoken backbone +of our community. The key is that we must not fear change but embrace it. + +Changing our community for the better is a process we can only take +one step at a time, and we must recognize our strength +is in our diversity. As we move forward, as we evolve, we need to keep in +mind our goals and overall vision. In a sense, these things vary across all +projects, but our central community vision and goal helps provide direction. + +As we continue our journey, I believe we need to lift up new contributors, +incorporate new thoughts, and new ideas. Embracing change while keeping our +basic course so new contributors can better find and integrate with our +community as we continue forward. We need to listen and take that as +feedback to better understand other perspectives, for it is not only +our singular personal perspective which helps give us direction, +but the community as a whole. + +For those who do not know me well my name is Julia Ashley Kreger. Often +I can be found on IRC as TheJulia, in numerous OpenStack related channels. +I have had the pleasure of serving the community this past year on the +Technical Committee. I have also served the ironic community quite a bit +during my time in the OpenStack community, which began during the Juno +cycle. + +I am the current Project Team Lead for the Ironic team. I began +serving in that capacity starting with the Rocky cycle. Prior, +I served as the team's release liaison. You might have seen me as one +of those crazy people advocating for standalone usage. Prior lives +included deploying and operating complex systems, but that is enough +about me. + +Ultimately I believe I bring a different perspective to the TC and it is for +this, and my many strong beliefs and experiences, I feel I am well suited + +to serve the community for another year on the Technical Committee. + +Thank you for your consideration, + +Julia + +freenode: TheJulia +Twitter: @ashinclouds +https://www.openstack.org/community/members/profile/19088/julia-kreger +http://stackalytics.com/?release=all&user_id=juliaashleykreger
