My platform is a focus on deployment and operations for OpenStack. I'm not going to mince words: deploying OpenStack is hard. Maintaining it is even harder. I don't think it needs to be this way. I spent two years designing and deploying a cloud based on OpenStack and it really seemed much harder to do than it should have been, especially when you factor in configuration management tools. I would like to promote a more operational approach to the decisions made inside the OpenStack community. Some of it is easy, some of it is hard. I don't expect things to change overnight, but I do feel that a course correction is needed, that it's going to need to come from a whole project approach as well as code contribution, and that now is the time to make it.

I am a senior software engineer at Rackspace in their OpenStack group, and have worked in a variety of cloud devops roles for the last seven years. I think my operations experience gives me an interesting perspective into where OpenStack should be going in the next few years. I was just asked what my thoughts on integrated projects are, so I figured I should address that in public. First off, the TC has oversight on all technical matters [1], so while project incubation and integration is a topic that the TC handles, it isn't the only thing I'd expect a well running TC to handle. Examples of other things that the TC should be caring about are: - what languages we develop in - what libraries we standardise on and if the existing standards are still the best choices (for example, is sqlalchemy still the best way of handling database abstraction?) - how our CI infrastructure helps us run the project To specifically address the incubation / integration question, I think that OpenStack runs the risk of becoming distracted with too many projects. We need to remember that the foundation is still quite young, as is our community in general. I personally think that OpenStack should be focussing on Infrastructure as a Service problems for now, with the intention of expanding that scope later when we have a solid stable base of infrastructure projects. I can see why it is attractive for projects to want to become incubated, especially because it means they get a bunch of (mainly CI) infrastructure for free, as well as a lot of mind share from the association. We need to remember that our CI resources are limited however, and we need to be careful not to overload that team. Additionally, each project we add makes it hard for us to define who is distributing OpenStack. Do they have to ship every integrated project? Even if its not relevant to the product they're trying to build? We live in a complicated world though. I think each of these decisions should be made on its individual merits based on the facts that are true at the time. I also think the TC is on the right track here at the moment, so I don't think we need to wrap a bunch of super formal policy around this area at the moment. Hopefully that helps.

[Openstack] TC candidacy
Hello all, I would like to run for a seat on The Technical Comittee. I have been working on Nova since it was a project as Nasa and I have been heavily involved in openstack since it was founded. I was elected to the precursor to TC (the Project Oversight Committee, later named the Project Policy Board) when it was first created. I was also elected as the first PTL for Nova and have been filling that role for the last two years. I am the top contributor to Nova over the lifetime of the project, and the third most frequent contributor over the past 12 months. I helped to create Devstack, Keystone, and Cinder. In addition, I have contributed to Oslo and I am a member of the stable-maintenance team. Despite passing on the mantle of Nova PTL, I am still deeply involved with OpenStack and I want to make sure that it continues to be a huge success. As OpenStack grows, one of the most important challenges we face is integration. It is vital that we have technical leaders that are focused cross-project and dedicated to making OpenStack as a whole successful. I currently work as the Director of Open Source at Nebula, Inc. Previously I was a principal engineer on the private cloud team at Rackspace, and before that I was a senior developer on the Nebula project at NASA where Nova was created.

[Openstack] TC candidacy
Greetings - I would like to run for a TC seat as well. My platform is a focus on deployment and operations for OpenStack. I'm not going to mince words: deploying OpenStack is hard. Maintaining it is even harder. I don't think it needs to be this way. I spent two years designing and deploying a cloud based on OpenStack and it really seemed much harder to do than it should have been, especially when you factor in configuration management tools. I would like to promote a more operational approach to the decisions made inside the OpenStack community. Some of it is easy, some of it is hard. I don't expect things to change overnight, but I do feel that a course correction is needed, that it's going to need to come from a whole project approach as well as code contribution, and that now is the time to make it. As I said, I spent the last two years as an implementor of OpenStack with the DreamCompute project at DreamHost and have now moved on to a new position as a solutions architect at Midokura. These positions have given (and continue to give) me a customer perspective of what it takes to deploy, maintain, and upgrade OpenStack in production. While my company supports me and my desire to run for the TC, I'm running independent of my company in order to keep a vendor neutral approach. Thanks for your time! -Carl ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Openstack] TC Candidacy
Hi everybody! I'd like to run for a seat on the Technical Committee. - OpenStack Experience - I run the CI and Developer Automation team for OpenStack. There hasn't always been a team, but as long as there has been, I've been doing it. Before there was a proper team, there was Soren and I, and before that there was just me. I set up the original Tarmac-based trunk gate that we used before Gerrit, and I'm the original owner on many of the Launchpad resources (because it turns out some human must be the ultimate owner of things there) So it's pretty easy to say without boasting that there is very little about the tooling that runs the project that I don't know about, both in its current form and the history that got us to its current form. My commits and reviews can be seen here: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/reviewer:mordred%2540inaugust.com+OR+owner:mordred%2540inaugust.com,n,z - Other Experience - I work at HP where I lead a team of people who staff the rest of the CI team. I do what I can as part of my job there to ensure that the OpenStack Dev systems always have the resources they need to operate effectively. Before HP I worked at Rackspace doing the same thing. Before OpenStack at Rackspace I was a core developer on Drizzle, having moved with the rest of the Drizzle team to Rackspace when Sun got bought by Oracle. I was lucky enough to get involved in Drizzle hacking from the beginning of that project while I was a Senior Consultant for MySQL Inc (and then for Sun when we got bought) Although it doesn't come up in this context very often, I'm pretty stinking good at MySQL Scaling and High Availability. I've been a Python hacker since I wrote the SNPP protocol library for Python in 2000, and have experience as both a developer and a *nix sysadmin stretching back to 1994. Recently I became a member of the Python Software Foundation, and I sit on the OpenStack Foundation Board. - Why I should be on the Technical Committee - The TC provides direction to the project as a whole and acts as a collaboration point and focus for consensus between the projects. Often times things that are decided by the TC have a direct effect on the automation systems that we use to run things ... so having someone from the CI and Automation teams represented seems like a really good idea. Additionally, since I tend to be cross-project focused rather than involved in any one specific project, I'd like to think that I have a decent unbiased perspective on issues that are related to project agreement and consistency. Thanks for your consideration!

Hey all, I'd like throw my hat in the ring for a seat on the TC as well. Like Matt, I think the current crew of TC candidates are excellent, and I as a community member would be happy with any of them, but more choices are always good (unless they are bubble gum jelly beans, then all bets are off). -- OpenStack Credentials -- I've been involved with OpenStack since March of this year, when IBM first got engaged in the community. I've been primarily working on nova and testing code during that time. My reviews and contributions are here https://review.openstack.org/#/q/reviewer:sdague%2540linux.vnet.ibm.com+OR+owner:sdague%2540linux.vnet.ibm.com,n,z -- Non-OpenStack Credentials -- I've been a part of IBM's Linux Technology Center since it's creation in 2001, and contributed to numerous OpenSource projects over that time. Some relevant highlights have been the SystemImager tool for cluster installation and the OSCAR HPC toolkit. Contributions to the management and testing stacking in Xen. A mostly complete and varied history can be found at ohloh - https://www.ohloh.net/accounts/sdague. I'm also a personal contributor to many other smaller open source projects in varied languages - some of which is captured in github - https://github.com/sdague. From a leadership perspective I'm the president and founder of our local area Linux and Open Source Users Group (created almost 10 years ago) - http://mhvlug.org. -- Reasons for Interest in TC -- My particular areas of focus over the next year are upgrade and testing. I want very much for OpenStack to be able to not only upgrade cleanly, but also be able to rolling upgrade in the field from one release to the next. This is going to be a long road ahead to get there and I think having a voice with this particular lens on the TC would help get us there as a community.

[Openstack] TC Candidacy
I'd like to propose myself as a candidate for the Technical Committee. == About Me == I am currently a Principal Architect at Rackspace, where i work on Private Cloud deployments powered by OpenStack. == OpenStack Experience == I have been contributing to the development of OpenStack side May of 2011. I have contributed to the nova, glance, and keystone projects. Most of my contributions have been focused on usability and functionality of the software (with an operators viewpoint). My reviews and commits can be seen here: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/reviewer:jshepher%2540rackspace.com+OR+owner:jshepher%2540rackspace.com,n,zhttps://review.openstack.org/#/q/reviewer:jshepher%40rackspace.com+OR+owner:jshepher%40rackspace.com,n,z In order to help with ease of installation and configuration, I have worked on a couple of projects in the OpenStack ecosystem. I have spent the most time working on the chef-cookbooks that we use for our deployments. These cookbooks are currently the source from which Opscode is creating the official community cookbooks. https://github.com/rcbops/chef-cookbooks As testing and usability are both important to me, I have contributed to the following test suites. These test suites help validate new deployments, and help us identify issues in milestone releases. https://github.com/rcbops/exerstack https://github.com/rcbops/kong As part of my current position, I have run several multi-day OpenStack workshops with a wide variety of companies. During these workshops, I have had the opportunity to see how business ranging from small to enterprise companies are utilizing/wanting to utilize OpenStack. I believe that this kind of input is extremely valuable to the community and to the project. == Involvement with Open Source == I have been using open source software for the better part of 15 years, and have contributed to multiple projects over the years. OpenStack is the largest project I have ever worked on, and I really enjoy the collaboration pushing it along. == Reasons for interest in TC == As OpenStack adoption increases, upgradability and operator usability also gain in importance. I believe that operator interaction, and ease of management both have a tremendous impact on adoption of OpenStack. I think having an operations viewpoint on the TC will help us as a community continue to improve both of these aspects.

Howdy ya'll! ++ Who am I ++ I'd like to also put myself up for the Technical Committee candidate position, via one of the seats that are being made available. I believe I have software at my heart (not literally) and that all systems should be as elegant and architecturally sound as humanly possible. Helping OpenStack achieve this type of 'beauty' is my goal and it has been a learning process in getting there (myself included) and I'd like to contribute what I can to make this continue to happen. In my spare time I code more than I should, mountain bike, ski (double diamonds ftw), and rock climb (5.12+ woot). Qui audet adipiscitur ('he who dares wins'). ++ Background and Experience ++ I work at Yahoo! as one of the technical leads on the OpenStack team where we have been working to get better involved in the OpenStack community and establishing OpenStack internally (top secret!). We are focused on scale (tens of thousands of servers), reliability, and making the best software that is humanly possible (who doesn't want that)! ++ What I believe I can bring ++ I have been on various engineering teams at Yahoo! for the last 5 years. I have designed/architected and implemented code that runs on http://www.yahoo.com, the ad systems, the social network backends, and so on. Each project has required understanding how scale and reliability can be achieved, so that it¹s possible to maximize uptime (thus getting more customers and so on). I started with OpenStack around the diablo timeframe (the progress has been amazing so A+ there). Currently I have been working on establishing OpenStack in Yahoo! and making sure Yahoo! keeps on being an active and innovative contributor. I believe I can help out in scale (how far can eventlet go...), architectural decisions (more services or less??) and help OpenStack be as reliable and manageable as possible. I have also in that time helped with various bugs and blueprints and have been the main creator/pusher/driver of anvil (aka devstackpy, see: http://anvil.readthedocs.org/) which Yahoo! has been using internally for various tasks. I have also recently jumped on the cloud-init boat (https://launchpad.net/cloud-init/) and helped out there (I am now the #2 contributor there) in doing some refactoring and adding in multi-distro support (where possible) in that project so that it can be used more widely publicly and internally @ Yahoo!. ++ Technical Skills ++ I have been working in software for as long as I can remember, in various languages, c/c++, java, ruby, python/jython... Strive to create the best architectures and code that I can (it¹s always a learning process). Some of my past work is on github, https://github.com/harlowja, other are not (unfortunately), or just feel free to ask me on irc or email or launchpad anytime you want (https://launchpad.net/~harlowja)... ++ Coworker Quotes ++ ³I¹ve worked with Josh for several years and the first thing you need to know is that working with Josh forces you to keep on your technical toes. He¹s always got his eye on emerging technologies and is very good at not reinventing the wheel. A ready sense of humor, sense of fun, and willingness to listen to other¹s opinions make him an easy person to work with.² -- Ken Thomas (krt) ++ Not Coworker Quotes ++ http://i.imgur.com/TgpXU Thanks much for the chance (no matter the result).

I'd like to hereby nominate myself as candidate for a seat on the Technical Committee. I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Cisco Systems. In the past, I've held similar positions at Nebula, Rackspace and Canonical. I've been part of this project since before it was called OpenStack, mostly focusing on Nova, but also spending a lot of time building up a lot of the automation (including the CI infrastructure) to help us hit the ground running in the very beginning. Monty's team is doing a fantastic job looking after the infrastructure stuff now, so I've almost entirely backed off from that. I'm a core developer of Ubuntu and hold a seat on Ubuntu's technical board. In the course of my work on Ubuntu, I've contributed to countless open source projects, in recent years mostly focusing on virtualisation related things. I think our most important qualities in OpenStack are reliability and scalability and this will very likely shine through in my work on the technical committee. Even though I've spent most of my OpenStack time working on Nova, I have a keen sense of the bigger picture, both in terms of considering the other OpenStack projects, but also considering our various upstreams and downstreams. -- Soren Hansen | http://linux2go.dk/ Senior Software Engineer | http://www.cisco.com/ Ubuntu Developer | http://www.ubuntu.com/ OpenStack Developer | http://www.openstack.org/ ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

In the course of my work on Ubuntu, I've contributed to countless open source projects, in recent years mostly focusing on virtualisation related things. I think our most important qualities in OpenStack are reliability and scalability and this will very likely shine through in my work on the technical committee. Even though I've spent most of my OpenStack time working on Nova, I have a keen sense of the bigger picture, both in terms of considering the other OpenStack projects, but also considering our various upstreams and downstreams. -- Soren Hansen | http://linux2go.dk/ Senior Software Engineer | http://www.cisco.com/ Ubuntu Developer | http://www.ubuntu.com/ OpenStack Developer | http://www.openstack.org/ ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Openstack] TC Candidacy
+1 ! Thank you for your working hard for CI :) 2012/9/19 Monty Taylor mord...@inaugust.com: Hi everybody! I'd like to run for a seat on the Technical Committee. - OpenStack Experience - I run the CI and Developer Automation team for OpenStack. There hasn't always been a team, but as long as there has been, I've been doing it. Before there was a proper team, there was Soren and I, and before that there was just me. I set up the original Tarmac-based trunk gate that we used before Gerrit, and I'm the original owner on many of the Launchpad resources (because it turns out some human must be the ultimate owner of things there) So it's pretty easy to say without boasting that there is very little about the tooling that runs the project that I don't know about, both in its current form and the history that got us to its current form. My commits and reviews can be seen here: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/reviewer:mordred%2540inaugust.com+OR+owner:mordred%2540inaugust.com,n,z - Other Experience - I work at HP where I lead a team of people who staff the rest of the CI team. I do what I can as part of my job there to ensure that the OpenStack Dev systems always have the resources they need to operate effectively. Before HP I worked at Rackspace doing the same thing. Before OpenStack at Rackspace I was a core developer on Drizzle, having moved with the rest of the Drizzle team to Rackspace when Sun got bought by Oracle. I was lucky enough to get involved in Drizzle hacking from the beginning of that project while I was a Senior Consultant for MySQL Inc (and then for Sun when we got bought) Although it doesn't come up in this context very often, I'm pretty stinking good at MySQL Scaling and High Availability. I've been a Python hacker since I wrote the SNPP protocol library for Python in 2000, and have experience as both a developer and a *nix sysadmin stretching back to 1994. Recently I became a member of the Python Software Foundation, and I sit on the OpenStack Foundation Board. - Why I should be on the Technical Committee - The TC provides direction to the project as a whole and acts as a collaboration point and focus for consensus between the projects. Often times things that are decided by the TC have a direct effect on the automation systems that we use to run things ... so having someone from the CI and Automation teams represented seems like a really good idea. Additionally, since I tend to be cross-project focused rather than involved in any one specific project, I'd like to think that I have a decent unbiased perspective on issues that are related to project agreement and consistency. Thanks for your consideration!

[Openstack] TC Candidacy
Hi all. My Name is Matt Joyce. I do hereby on this, the eighteenth day of the ninth month in the year of our lord two thousand and twelve, announce my candidacy for a seat upon the technical committee. I have all the respect in the world for the folks running right now. But I figure the candidacy pool needs some more variety. And in the spirit of open source I've decided to add variety by doing it myself. Enjoy the added variety. And consider joining in yourself. Don't be shy. Jump in and get your hands dirty. So I guess here are my OpenStack Qualifications: I was a member of the Nebula Project at NASA as a DevOps team member and later team leader. I maintained the environment there for two years before joining Cloudscaling, where I continue my involvement with OpenStack. My most recent work has been in external software ( ssh ) integration with keystone. I've made some changes to horizon, nova, and of course did the bulk of the portuguese translations of horizon. I am core on the python-openstackclient. And I am helping kickstart the OpenStack Security Group. Here are my Non-OpenStack Qualifications: I am an ex-Opsware Professional Services consultant at HP. I used to work on the GTI Configuration Management team at JPMC. And, as a result I've seen and worked on some very large automated datacenter projects. I have a kinetic familiarity with the automation arena historically, and a deep appreciation of the future openstack aspires to. Other things you might want to know: I am involved with the ChaosVPN project. I am a former member of the NYC Resistor Hackerspace, Hacker Dojo Hackerspace, and a continual contributor to Make, Hackaday, and other fine blogs. I once gave a talk at Defcon on trolling. I enjoy long walks on the beach and finding creative ways to violate the three laws of robotics.

[Openstack] TC candidacy
Hi all, I'd like to announce my candidacy for a seat on the OpenStack Technical Committee. - General background - I have over 15 years of experience designing and building distributed systems. I am currently a Senior Software Developer at Rackspace, where I have been for a little over 2 years now. Most of my time at Rackspace has been spent working on OpenStack as both a developer and a technical leader. My first week at Rackspace was spent at the very first OpenStack Design Summit in Austin where the project was announced. Prior to working at Rackspace, I held various roles over 14 years at Concentric Network Corporation/XO Communications including Senior Software Architect and eventually Director of Engineering. My main focus there was on an award winning web/email hosting platform which we'd built to be extremely scalable and fault tolerant. While my name is not on this patent, I was heavily involved with the development and design that led to US6611861. - Why am I interested? - I have strong feelings for OpenStack and I want to help take it to the next level. I have a lot of technical knowledge and experience building scalable distributed systems. Having finished helping launch a large deployment of OpenStack at Rackspace on 8/1, I have the time and support to start making a larger contribution to the community. During most of my past experience, I haven't had the luxury of having access to a lot extremely fast hardware, so it's been important to make software as performant as possible. I've also had to put lots of effort into having 0 downtime, meaning code can be updated seamlessly without dropping clients. I've also been one to lead host and software security efforts so I have a lot of strong feelings in this area. I am extremely interested in using this experience to make OpenStack perform well, be secure, be more easily pluggable, and easy to use! - Relevant Private Source Experience - Unfortunately XO was not very big on open source, so there's a lot of innovative work that I have not been able to publish. But, I've worked on such things as developing multithreaded DNS and MX (mail) servers from scratch. The latter work is notable as it allowed scaling to tens of thousands of simultaneous socket connections to a single mail server, allowing us to be very efficient hardware wise. - Open Source Experience - My initial contributions to open source software date back to 1994, working on EFNet's IRCD daemon, submitting performance improvement patches and features to help EFNet grow to over 100,000 simultaneous clients. Starting in 1998, I rewrote the daemon to make it scale even further, also adding in support for dynamic upgradeability (code upgrades without dropping clients). - OpenStack - As I mentioned above, I was at the very first design summit, so I've been involved with the project from the beginning. I started the initial work for nova-scheduler shortly after the project was opened. I also implemented the RPC support for kombu, making sure to properly support reconnecting and so forth which didn't work quite so well with the carrot code. I've contributed a number of improvements designed to make nova-api more performant. I've worked on the filter scheduler as well as designing and implementing the first version of the Zones replacement that we named 'Cells'. Cells is being used today in production at Rackspace, but it does need a bit of work to fit into trunk (like documentation :). - Summary - I feel my years of experience contributing to and leading large scale technical projects along with my knowledge of the OpenStack projects will provide a good foundation for technical leadership. Thanks, - Chris ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I put Content Stacker on my business cards to point out the power of content coming from many people and many projects that I happily stack into organized sites. I maintain the docs.openstack.org and api.openstack.org site by running the documentation project like a code project, with blueprints, bugs, and task tracking. Also documentation is published continuously and automatically with reviews in the Gerrit system like code. I've been working on OpenStack for two years. Here's a link to my contributed patches and reviews on Gerrit. https://review.openstack.org/#/q/reviewer:anne%2540openstack.org,n,z My open source experience precedes my OpenStack history. Starting around 2008, I worked with FLOSS Manuals writing open source manuals for open source software, http://flossmanuals.net. I'm always researching the latest tools, techniques, and limited amount of academic research available about open source and documentation. This year I released a 2nd edition of my book, Conversation and Community: The Social Web for Documentation that includes a chapter about open source and documentation. It's a unique field and I'm quite drawn to it. ==Technical Expertise== I've been working on technical documentation in software and IT and have built a unique perspective through the years on how to integrate documentation closely with fast-moving code. I also have the technical knowledge and user perspective for consuming OpenStack APIs. I'm a fast learner and open to many tools and processes related to code and docs. OpenStack affords us all opportunities to design, implement, experiment, and build upon documentation and I enjoy working with the community to continually improve the documentation.
