Speaker Profile:
Amy is a candidate in the January 2025 Board Elections .
Q
A
I have been an operator of OpenStack since the Grizzly release and a contributor since Mitaka. I have served in various roles in the community over the years and currently serves as Vice Chair of the Board, Chair of the Compensation Committee, and member of the Finance Committee. Within the project I am a core reviewer, member of the Technical Committee, and Chair of the Diversity and Inclusion Work Group. Previously I served as Chair of the User Committee.
Q
A
I serve as Chair of the CentOS Board of Directors and on the board of the CHAOSS project. Both of these are open source projects but do not fall under a Foundation. These experiences give me a well rounded view on working with others to accomplish he goals of the Board and project to grow and have have longevity.
A
The Board's role is to ensure the longevity of the projects that fall under it. It must serve as a guide to the projects to help with the larger non-technical decisions whether it's approving the budget of the Foundation and overseeing that money is allocated in the right areas, but also making sure we're thinking about the latest global issues whether it's AI and it's use in the contributions or following best security recommendations.
Q
A
The top priority for the Board next year should be to continue to grow and promote the projects that fall under it.
