Another ~charmers application! - Chris Glass

[Chris Glass]

Hi all,

It's my turn to apply for ~charmers membership.

I have been using juju since the pyjuju days, mostly professionally
but also for my personal use.

Most of my contributions to the charm ecosystem stem from my current
work position as a software engineer for Canonical, as part of the
Landscape team:

1. Contributing to our own landscape and landscape-client charms (I am
a member of ~landscape-charmers)
2. Heavy contributions to the storage subordinate (refactoring and
extra features).
3. Working with OpenStack charms daily, and as such had the
opportunity to find, trace and fix a variety of bugs in them. (I'm a
member of ~openstack-charmers).
4. charm-helpers is of particular interest to me, and I have
undertaken to explore, tidy and refactor that code, since it appears
to have grown organically in the past, and accumulated a bit of
technical debt.

>From the personal use side, I'm also the author of the ubuntu-mirror
charm announced a few days ago, that I use to deploy and maintain an
official ubuntu archives mirror. As most programmers I have a few
other projects up my sleeve, but all of them might not become public
before a bit more time.

Outside of charming I'm an Ubuntu member and contributor, dad of one,
and world traveler. Python has been my tool of choice these last few
years, and before joining Canonical I've used puppet, vCenter
Orchestrator, chef, and crowbar quite extensively. The last few items
should give a hint as to where my previous professional positions were
held :)

Thanks for your consideration, time and awesome work,

Best,

- Chris
