My first code contributions landed in Cactus, but my contributions have not been limited to code alone. I propose and drive summit and mailing list discussions, contribute to those discussions led by others, have begun contributing to packaging efforts, and soon intend to land documentation changes.

For years preceding the existence of OpenStack, I've worked on many of the technical problems and challenges facing a cloud, not only those related to virtualization, networking, and storage, but also billing, metering, and user interfaces.

These are problems that the TC must be prepared to deal with. We need technical leadership that understands the problems of these projects, can help them succeed, and especially for those individually elected seats -- can bring them to together.
