-What is one trait you have that makes it difficult to work in groups like
the TC and how do you counteract it?
There are many, I'm sure. But one that is frequent and embarrassing
is that I have a serious problem with homophones, contractions (or
word combinations that could be), and apostrophes when typing --
especially in IRC. The worst expression of this is leaving out "not"
in a sentence like "The cow should jump off the cliff" when
actually, I like cows and would prefer they not jump to
they're^wthere^their deaths. As you can imagine this is dire when
trying to state a position or express an opinion in a group like the
TC where stating positions and expressing opinions, in IRC, is a big
chunk of what you do.
As with so many things the method to counteract this is to stop
being so urgent, be conscious, and breathe a bit; it'll keep.
- What do you see as the biggest roadblock in the upcoming releases for the
TC?
Like others, I'm concerned about the amount and direction of
corporate interests. We're currently seeing a great deal of interest
and investment from Telcos and the NFV community. This is
simultaneously exciting and concerning. There will be a clash of
cultures that will be both difficult and productive.
-What is your favorite thing about OpenStack?
You asked this in a lighthearted way, but I feel pretty serious
about this: The thing I like most about OpenStack is that the people
I work with everyday -- the people I regularly call my coworkers
(and friends!) when mentioning them to (other) friends and family --
are not all paid by the same company as me. That is _awesome_.
