Name: Christophe de Dinechin Email: dinechin@redhat.com Caveat: This is a conditional candidacy, in case Archana does not reapply for the seat she was holding. I feel that we need a quorum in the AC, but I also would be happy to accelerate things and have no vote if we have enough candidates. Background: I am the PO for OpenShift sandboxed containers at Red Hat, which uses Kata Containers to make it easy to consume inside OpenShift. In that role, I have been leading and coordinating the effort made by numerous contributors from Red Hat in order to improve Kata Containers, its CI and its interaction with components such as qemu, CRI-O or the kernel (e.g. SR-IOV). Over the recent years, I have created the initial Kata packages for Fedora, and then focused on security and threat model, performance, scalability, debuggability and testability. Among the process changes that happened with the help of Ariel, I can mention a weekly "triage" meeting as well as the use of GitHub "projects" to coordinate efforts such as Confidential Containers. For the future, I have a genuine interest in long-term evolutions of Kata, including Confidential Containers, as well as a better API for communicating with other components, which I recently renamed from "Sandbox API" to "Pod API" to distinguish it from the containerd Sandbox API proposal. I really want to address many CPU and I/O performance issues, as well as memory usage and general scalability of Kata Containers. Since I started working on Kata Containers, I believe that I have rarely missed an architecture committee meeting, despite not being officially on the committee. That works fine with me: the architecture committee has always been extremely open to external input. However, I feel that the Architecture committee needs a quorum, and I am happy to fill the third seat that is up for this election if Archana is not re-applying for her own seat. I really enjoy working with this community, and I look forward to keep contributing, whether it's through the architecture committee or otherwise.
