<p class="MsoNormal">Airship community,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'd like to announce my nomination for the 2019 Airship Working Committee<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">election.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been working in the Airship community since its inception, in a variety<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">of different formal and informal roles. I have contributed to the development<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">and design of the Airship projects, promoted and communicated the project to<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">potential contributors and operators, and have worked closely with the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">OpenStack Foundation to ensure Airship is on the right path to become a full<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">OSF project. Prior to this, I also served as an engineer and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PTL of the OpenStack-Helm project. Most relevant to this election, I have served<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">in an informal Airship PTL-type capacity to build the community and ensure<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">that it is healthy, productive, and true to its goals.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My vision for the Airship Working Committee is to double down on<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">community-building efforts, and to form a WC team that is responsible for<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">making sure Airship is a project we all want to contribute to.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Airship will benefit from having a team of active community members who are<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">also focused on identifying issues, listening to concerns, solving problems,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">leading the charge, and a little bit of cheerleading.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Essentially, a collective PTL for Airship.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If elected, my initial goals will center on working with my fellow<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">WC team members to retrospect on the community, gather feedback on what is<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">working well and what is not, and creating plans for improving Airship's<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">accessibility from contributor and operator standpoints. In addition,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to work closely with the Technical Committee to make sure<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">the software we're creating is aligned to the individual needs of our<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">various operators, and the common vision for Airship.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your consideration!<o:p></o:p></p>
