TOC Candidate Nomination for Chris McGowan

[pburkholder]

Candidate Name: Chris McGowan

Candidate GitHub Username: @ChrisMcGowan

Affiliation: cloud.gov

Nomination Statement:

Chris is a senior engineer with cloud.gov, the U.S. government's primary public sector Cloud Foundry service. He's a seasoned Cloud Foundry engineer who has supported operations at GE Predix, Home Depot and for clients of Stark & Wayne. His open-source contributions include numerous repos at cloud.gov, various kits, including BOSH and CF App Autoscaler, for Genesis Community, and Shield, an open-source backup utility.

I'm nominating Chris because the CFF and the TOC have benefited from public sector representation, as shown by the UK's Lee Porte and Andy Hunt. Chris is well-suited to carry on that tradition with his deep engineering knowledge coupled with an understanding of compliance and sustainability. He considers deeply the tradeoffs of engineering and architectural decisions, explains technical concepts well, and is a generous colleague.

In all, he's ideally suited to help Cloud Foundry to continue to grow and thrive.

Per the section 7(e)(i) in the CFF Charter, we'll need a majority of the TOC to approve an exemption for Chris to run for a TOC seat. If you could, please comment your approval (or disapproval) on this issue.
