Speaker Profile:
Amy is a candidate in the January 2024 Board Elections .
Q
A
I am a long time operator (Grizzly) and contributor (Mitaka) who has served in various leadership positions in the OpenStack Community and in the OpenInfra Foundation. I would say my biggest contribution to date is split between my work with the D&I Working Group to ensure the OpenInfra projects are a diverse and inclusive place to be, but also as a voice of the operators and community to the TC and Board.
Q
A
I currently serve as a member of the OpenInfra Board of Directors as well as serving as the Chair of the CentOS Project and on the Board of the CHAOSS Project. All three of these boards vary, from a smaller standalone board to one that is under a Foundation, and have given me a wide range orange of experience with governance, budgets, communities, and technologies.
A
OpenInfra's success can be measured in multiple ways but there are two that standout in importance to me. The first is the long term sustainability of the projects and their communities. And the second is the adoption and use of the projects themselves which hopefully then ties back into helping to sustain and grow the communities.
Q
A
The top priority of the Board over the next year is to solidify the long term success of the projects and the Foundation itself.
