David Lai
Michelle,
Please provide the voting link.
Thanks, David
From:
cdf-gb@... <cdf-gb@...> on behalf of Michelle Martineau via lists.cd.foundation <mmartineau=linuxfoundation.org@...> Hello CDF TOC, Thank you to all who participated in the CDF TOC Chair nomination period. We have 2 very qualified candidates for the TOC members to select from this year, you can read their Statements of Intent below. Ballots have been sent to the TOC voting members: Jithin Emmanuel, Tracy Ragan, Melissa McKay, Andrea Frittoli, Robert Reeves, Emil Bäckmark, Justin Abrahms, and Steve Taylor. Voting is open through January 10th, 2023 and the new Char will be seated on January 17th at the first TOC meeting of the year.
Happy Holidays to you and your families!
Melissa McKay Nomination Statement Melissa McKay STATEMENT OF INTENT My commitment serving as the TOC Chair will be to focus my energies on supporting the CDF mission and building robust collaboration with the projects and communities within the CD ecosystem that will be sustainable beyond the end of the term. I will work diligently with the CDF Governing Board and our TOC members to troubleshoot existing issues and establish solutions to help projects better organize and better communicate needs to the broader community. In observing existing projects (both CDF projects and others), I see a lot of opportunity for cross collaboration and helping newer projects and their communities benefit from the learnings of more established projects. As we start a fresh new year, I want to make sure we devote time to ensuring the sustainability of our efforts. As chair I will work to establish new ways of getting feedback from our maintainers, providing open office hours for 1:1 conversations, and actively pursuing new and interesting projects that further the CDF mission. With your support, I will put considerable effort into bringing new viewpoints and participation into the CDF in order to establish a rich pool of community members from which we will pull our future leaders. Your time commitment as TOC members is valuable and I will work to ensure that it is not wasted, that you have clear goals, and that your contributions in your positions are acknowledged and are used to improve the foundation of the TOC for future members. During the last couple of years of my participation with the CD Foundation, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and working with a group of incredibly intelligent, inspiring and motivating people. I’ve found here in the CD Foundation, areas of need where my experience as a developer, a lead engineer, a team liaison, and communicator will benefit our community and be an asset to the CDF. It is with this in mind that I know I will excel as the next TOC Chair. BACKGROUND / BIO For over 20 years I’ve worked as a software engineer on internal corporate teams. This is where I delved deep into learning and improving CI/CD tools, processes, and strategies to help our team succeed with our development and delivery goals. I am a Java Champion and Docker Captain, have spoken at international events including Kubecon and DockerCon, and co-authored the O'Reilly title, DevOps Tools for Java Developers book. I am a Developer Advocate with JFrog and work with the community sharing the skills I’ve learned throughout my career and to continue the lifetime learning necessary for our communities and technologists to adapt to the fast pace of change in this space. My experience as a developer and a team lead give me a perspective where I can offer both empathy and strategic support to the existing and potential software projects that operate under the CDF. Through participation in developer communities and public speaking at events all over the world, my access to a broader audience of technologists from both the open source and corporate worlds puts me in a good position to pursue opportunities where I can be of service. Andrea Frittoli Nomination Statement Andrea Frittoli STSTEMENT OF INTENT My tenets as chair will be transparency, collaboration and efficiency, in the style of serving leadership. Transparency: The TOC shall support projects and special interest groups (SIGs) with their open governance, public roadmap and periodic assessment.
It shall foster regular communication through the respective TOC sponsors as well as through regular updates to be presented to the TOC. The TOC exists to serve projects and SIGs, and help them flourish and be successful. My first experience with the CD Foundation was in 2019 when Tekton was donated as a founding project. I deeply care about the CD Foundation and its mission to “foster and sustain the ecosystem of open-source, vendor-neutral projects through collaborations and interoperability”, and I would be honoured to have to opportunity to further serve this community as chair of the Technical Oversight committee. I believe that my personal experiences working on large-scale CI/CD systems, my 10 years of contributing to open source as a maintainer and leader as well as my passion and dedication to the CD Foundation community make me a strong candidate for this position. Background / Bio Andrea Frittoli is a Developer Advocate at IBM and an open source enthusiast. Andrea contributed to OpenStack for several years; in that community, where he learned about the importance of transparency and collaboration in
open source. Andrea is the co-founder of CDEvents and member of the project governing board since 2022. In that role, he organised CDEventsCon and a community
summit and lead the implementation of the project’s first release. At the CDF, Andrea is co-chair of the CDF SIG Events and he contributes to other SIGs as well. He serves on the Technical Oversight Committee and he’s maintainer representative on the Governing Board. Andrea is a frequent speaker at Open Source conferences and has presented his work at cdCon, KubeCon+CloudNativeCon, FOSSASIA, FOSDEM, FOSS Backstage, OpenStack summits, Open Source Summits and several more.

TOC Update: Stepping down as a TOC Chair (but not a member) and a Governance Board Member
Oleg Nenashev
Dear all, As it was discussed at the TOC Meeting on December 06, I’m stepping down from the roles of the CDF technical oversight committee chair and the CDF Governing Board members. This change is effective immediately. I made this decision after the conversation with Fatih Degirmenci and Steven Chin on November 30th, 2022. Steven wanted me to either commit 100% time and effort to the foundation and to start pushing all bits and growing excitement, or to step down. Steven and Fatih disagreed with the original co-chair idea or other enablement programs for other TOC members that we planned for at the TOC. Instead, their desire is to have a strong leader sponsored by one of the foundation member companies. And I agree with them. To survive and flourish, the foundation needs somebody to drive the technical programs and to proactively engage with member projects, companies, end users and contributors. Indeed it is a full-time effort for a foundation that includes massive projects like Jenkins, Tekton or Spinnaker with hundreds thousands of installations. On many occasions at the TOC and Board meetings, I suggested hiring technical program managers for the foundation to facilitate programs and technical partnerships. I do feel strongly that such a role is needed, and indeed it has to be a full-time job if we want the foundation to succeed. And yes, a TOC Chair could hold this role. But no, it is not me. I neither can nor want to commit so much time to the Continuous Delivery Foundation at the moment. As you probably remember, during the TOC Chair elections in August I explicitly declared my limited availability due to many commitments and due to the ongoing war in Ukraine and personal events. These events created a lot of pressure on me, and I could not be available for the TOC matters beyond minimum required responsibilities as it was discussed with the team. This is why we discussed options of deputy chairs and co-chairs, and this is why I declared enabling and onboarding the next TOC chair my key priority. I also explicitly announced the decision to step down in August 2023 the latest. For me, my health and my family are the top priority. After the conversation with Steven and Fatih and their feedback, I just step down earlier than it was planned. C’est la vie. What's next for the TOC? Fatih and Michelle will be organizing the next elections soon. I am working with them to expand the role definition in accordance with the expectations communicated by Steven and Fatih. The requirements should be live soon, and the election nominations should happen afterwards. For the activities I've been coordinating, e.g. the TOC roadmap, I expect other TOC members to step up and drive it together as we've always discussed it. I strongly believe that the TOC Chair is just a nominal person, and all TOC members have equal rights and responsibilities when it comes to driving the technical roadmap and the initiatives of the foundation. What's next for me? First of all, I am not leaving the TOC. I will remain on the committee, at least until the new project representative elections happen in June. I will keep representing Jenkins on the TOC, and I will keep contributing to the initiatives I am interested in and want to support (e.g. CDEvents). At the same time, my availability will be limited due to health and personal reasons, and I make no commitment beyond participating as a general TOC member. Whomever becomes a new TOC chair, I will do my best to assist them and to provide knowledge transfers. I cordially wish the foundation, all its members, and the next TOC Chair success! I am looking forward to contributing to it. Best regards, Oleg Nenashev linktr.ee/onenashev
