I've served +on multiple advisory boards for non-profit organizations. + +## What I'll Do + +I'm passionate about open source collaboration. As the Kubernetes +community grows it is important that the project scale to efficiently +include a more diverse set of stakeholders. I will advocate for +improved documentation, processes and automation for our growing +community. + +I've witnessed first hand the past dramatic growth of the linux +kernel and OpenStack communities and how those communities struggled +through change. I advocate for solutions that enable vendors, +distributions and hosting platforms to deliver their value, but I +also will work to protect the essence of Kubernetes. Whether you +call Kubernetes "the linux of cloud" or the "distributed POSIX of +cloud" or some other metaphor expressing Kubernetes' status as +today's orchestrator of choice, I will foster a future where +Kubernetes has not fractured into a forest of unique deployments +and rather conformance testing provides a strong statement of +Kubernetes cross cloud portability. + +## Where I Work + +VMware's Open Source Technology Center
