Another email archived for historical reasons. I'd also like to announce my TC candidacy. I am currently a member of the TC, and I would like to continue to serve. I first started hacking on Nova during the Diablo release, with my first code contributions appearing in the Essex release. Since then I've hacked mostly on Nova and Oslo, although I have also contributed to many other projects as my travels have required. For example, I've tried hard to keep various projects in sync with their imports of parts of Oslo I maintain. I work full time on OpenStack at Rackspace, leading a team of developers who work solely on upstream open source OpenStack. I am a Nova and Oslo core reviewer and the Nova PTL. I have been serving on the TC for the last year, and in the Icehouse release started acting as the liaison for the board "defcore" committee along with Anne Gentle.

I've also served on the vulnerability management team, and as nova bug czar in the past. I have extensive experience running Open Source community groups, having served on the TC, been the Director for linux.conf.au 2013, as well as serving on the boards of various community groups over the years. In Icehouse I hired a team of nine software engineers who are all working 100% on OpenStack at Rackspace Australia, developed and deployed the turbo hipster third party CI system along with Joshua Hesketh, as well as writing nova code. I recognize that if I am successful I will need to rearrange my work responsibilities, and my management is supportive of that. The…
