+#  Doug Davis
+
+- Github: [@duglin](https://github.com/duglin)
+- Works for: IBM
+
+## Background
+
+I've been working on open source projects, and standards, for about 17 years,
+starting with being a co-initiator of the Apache Axis project; working on
+WS-* related projects and specifications, OpenStack, CloudFoundry, Docker
+and now Kubernetes, including as a co-lead of the Service-Catalog Incubator.
+I also founded the Web Services Testing Forum, a consortium of Web Service
+providers and consumers designed for interop testing of SOAP/WS-*
+specifications, as well as the [soaphub](http://soaphub.org) on-line
+collaboration chat tool used by several communities.
+
+Throughout this time the importance of an open, fair and streamlined
+collaboration process has really been a center piece of my activities and
+goals for these projects.
+
+## Steering Committee
+
+The stated scope of the Steering Committee focuses on helping the
+Kubernetes community define and optimize many of the (sometimes less than
+glamorous, but necessary) processes and infrastructure that's critical
+to keeping a community like Kubernetes healthy and successful.
+
+Kubernetes, as one of the fastest growing OSS projects, needs to navigate
+and manage the complexities associated with this explosive growth very
+carefully. The importance of balancing the need for continued enhancements,
+managing stability of the code base, all while ensuring the community of
+developers and users feel their contributions (from code, issues and feedback)
+are welcome, respected and addressed in a timely fashion can not
+be understated. This will require people who can consider the challenges
+from multiple perspective, not just from a developer's. 
+
+I believe that my background in the open communities I've been involved with
+have given me a good perspective on what works, what doesn't and which might
+be best for an organization like Kubernetes.
