Subject: [Openstack] TC candidacy

I'd like to propose myself as a Technical Committee candidate for one of the open seats in the current election.

==Background and Experience==
Hi, I'm Anne Gentle, I work at Rackspace serving as the OpenStack doc coordinator. 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.

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. Thanks for your consideration.

Anne Gentle
