Now you can watch the keynotes that took place during the OpenInfra Summit in Berlin!
2017, I joined China Telecom and have been working on Cloud & Network infrastructure products since then. In the past years, I used to led a team to design and develop VIM products based on OpenStack and ETSI MANO specifications; and participated in design China Telecom's NFV three-layer decoupling scheme and implemented multiple projects such as 5GC, vIMS, and vBRAS. Our CT Cloud based on OpenStack have been deployed in 31 provinces and maintain upgrading with new Cloud & Network technologies. I believe it is precisely the mutual promotion with the open source community that has helped the industry to grow rapidly.
I'm involved in the following OpenStack projects: Nova,Neutron,Keystone,Cinder,Glance,Manila
I have been working on products based on Openstack since 2017, and now leading a team developing China telecom Cloud & Network infrastructure powered by OpenInfra. OpenInfra provides developers tools to build and manage private cloud and we deploy them to the 31 province, promote it to become an industry standard, let more users and developers involved in and feed back to our open source community.
Though I never served as a board member, my working experience and role as China Telecom contact with OpenStack/OpenInfra Foundation since 2020, help me form the following insights:
As a board member, it is necessary to possess certain leadership and decision-making abilities, as well as teamwork and coordination skills. When I used to organize industry forums representing China Telecom, I participated in organizational decision-making and management, learned how to develop plans, and collaborate with volunteers to complete tasks.
In addition, the 4 years role as China Telecom contact with OpenStack/OpenInfra Foundation I also learned how to collaborate with people from different backgrounds, how to handle conflicts and solve problems, and how to communicate. These experiences can help me better serve as a board member of OpenInfra and contribute to the success of the foundation.
Setting strategic direction: The board of directors is responsible for setting the strategic direction of OpenInfra to ensure that the organization is moving in the right direction. They need to understand market demand and competitive environment, and develop corresponding strategic plans to drive the development of OpenInfra.
Promoting community participation: The board needs to promote the participation and development of the OpenInfra community. They need to understand the needs and expectations of the community, and ensure that the organization maintains close ties with the community. By promoting community participation, the board of directors can enhance community cohesion, thereby providing strong support for the success of OpenInfra.
AI has become top topic for Chinatelecom this and next year. We should consider how to better support AI model training with infrastructure, and how to construct new industry standards for infrastructure projects incubated by OIF in the AI area.
