## 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.
