Hi Everyone, This is an email for declaring my own candidacy as requested, PR is https://github.com/kata-containers/community/pull/55 Copy text: ``` Name: Wei Zhang Email: zhangwei555@huawei.com Introduction: I am now working as a Senior Engineer in Huawei Corporation, leading a team which is responsible for providing container solutions based on K8s/docker/kata-containers to other departments and Huawei Public Cloud. I was once a docker developer and now is an active kata contributor, and has been Architecture Committee Member for about eight months. Kata Containers is a great project which can help reduce some security concerns comparing to native container solution, and I don't think I need more words to elaborate how great it is because I believe all the readers of this file are familiar enough to Kata. :-) So I wish to renew my seat, and do more work to help kata community to make excellent open source project, and then make better product based on Kata to our customers. ``` Hope this can become a good start of our election ☺ Thank you!

How to run for a seat: 1) Review the responsibilities of the Architecture Committee members [1] 2) Between now and August 27 at 14:59 UTC, you can declare your candidacy for one of the three open seats by submitting a textfile with your name (please put your name as the file name), reason for running and your platform/objectives to this folder[2]. Please also send a message to the kata-dev ML with this same info, declaring your candidacy. Election Process: The full process is outlined here [3], but key dates are as follows: * August 20, 1500 UTC - August 27, 2018 14:59 UTC: Candidate nominations open * August 27, 1500 UTC - September 3, 2018 14:59 UTC: Q&A/Debate period * September 3, 1500 UTC - September 10, 2018 14:59 UTC: Voting open * Week of September 11, 2018, results announced Who can vote: Anyone who has had a commit merged into the project in the last 12 months will be eligible to vote. Because this is our first election, I’d like to test our electorate generation process--I will send a message to all eligible voters this week, and give anyone who doesn’t receive a message (who thinks they should have) a chance to raise their hand. Keep an eye out for those emails later on. Please let me know if you have any questions about running for a seat or the election process!
