+# Tim Pepper
+
+I am [tpepper](https://github.com/tpepper) on GitHub, Slack, Gmail,
+and I tweet about association football and tech @pythomit.
+
+## What I've Done
+
+I've been a user of and contributor to open source since the late
+1990's, but I represent the newcomer in the Kubernetes community,
+having been active for about a year now. Contributions include:
+
+* SIG Contributor Experience: developer documentation improvements and helping
+ with new contributor activities at KubeCon (Copenhagen, Shanghai, Seattle)
+* SIG Release: 1.12 release team lead; bug triage on 1.10 and 1.11 release teams
+
+My past technical experience spans linux distribution
+build/release/test/update and low level linux drivers and embedded
+kernel work.
+
+Outside of tech, servant leadership is part of who I am. I've served
+on multiple advisory boards for non-profit organizations.
+
+## What I'll Do
+
+I'm passionate about open source collaboration. As the Kubernetes
+community grows it is important that the project scale to efficiently
+include a more diverse set of stakeholders. I will advocate for
+improved documentation, processes and automation for our growing
+community.
+
+I've witnessed first hand the past dramatic growth of the linux
+kernel and OpenStack communities and how those communities struggled
+through change. I advocate for solutions that enable vendors,
+distributions and hosting platforms to deliver their value, but I
+also will work to protect the essence of Kubernetes. Whether you
+call Kubernetes "the linux of cloud" or the "distributed POSIX of
+cloud" or some other metaphor expressing Kubernetes' status as
+today's orchestrator of choice, I will foster a future where
+Kubernetes has not fractured into a forest of unique deployments
+and rather conformance testing provides a strong statement of
+Kubernetes cross cloud portability.
