OpenStackers, I am Swapnil Kulkarni(coolsvap), I have been a ATC since Icehouse and I wish take this opportunity to throw my hat for election to the OpenStack Technical Committee this election cycle. I started contributing to OpenStack with introduction at a community event and since then I have always utilized every opportunity I had to contribute to OpenStack. I am a core reviewer at kolla and requirements groups. I have also been active in activities to improve the overall participation in OpenStack, through meetups, mentorship, outreach to educational institions to name a few. My focus of work during TC would be to make it easier for people to get involved in, participate, and contribute to OpenStack, to build the community. I have had a few hickups in the recent past for community engagement and contribution activities but my current employment gives me the flexibilty every ATC needs and I would like to take full advantage of it and increse the level of contribution. Please consider this my application and thank you for your consideration.
