Airship community,

I'd like to announce my nomination for the 2019 Airship Working Committee

election.

I have been working in the Airship community since its inception, in a variety

of different formal and informal roles.  I have contributed to the development

and design of the Airship projects, promoted and communicated the project to

potential contributors and operators, and have worked closely with the

OpenStack Foundation to ensure Airship is on the right path to become a full

OSF project.  Prior to this, I also served as an engineer and

PTL of the OpenStack-Helm project. Most relevant to this election, I have served

in an informal Airship PTL-type capacity to build the community and ensure

that it is healthy, productive, and true to its goals.

My vision for the Airship Working Committee is to double down on

community-building efforts, and to form a WC team that is responsible for

making sure Airship is a project we all want to contribute to.

Airship will benefit from having a team of active community members who are

also focused on identifying issues, listening to concerns, solving problems,

leading the charge, and a little bit of cheerleading.

Essentially, a collective PTL for Airship.

If elected, my initial goals will center on working with my fellow

WC team members to retrospect on the community, gather feedback on what is

working well and what is not, and creating plans for improving Airship's

accessibility from contributor and operator standpoints.  In addition,

I would like to work closely with the Technical Committee to make sure

the software we're creating is aligned to the individual needs of our

various operators, and the common vision for Airship.

Thank you for your consideration!

Matt McEuen
