Short Biography: 

I am the Principal Cloud Architect at Telstra, running with the technology transformation into a containerized, programmable, software-controlled, telco cloud environment. Besides several IT and telco related roles at Telstra, I had worked also for IBM and HP Global Practice. I have a long active experience in the industry organizations including TMF, ToG, LFN, and GSMA.

I have been involved in the LFN activities since 2019, first in CNTT and then and currently in the Anuket project.  During this period of 4 years, I combined roles of the CNTT/Anuket GitHub commiter of many PRs, reviews, and approvals, with the lead roles in LFN TAC and Anuket TSC. Currently I focus on work within the Anuket Cloud Infrastructure Reference Model stream of activities.

I have the Ph.D. (Mathematics/Information Science) and was a Fulbright Scholar at California Institute of Technology. Since 2009, I am certified as The Open Group Distinguished IT Architect and a member of the ToG Certification Board. https://www.linkedin.com/in/walterkozlowski/

Statement of Intent: 

If elected to the role of the LFN Governing Board Member Committers Representative, I will focus my Board activities on ensuring that interests and concerns of active committers are understood and addressed. I strongly believe in the critical role the opensource communities like LFN play in our industry. The army of the opensource commiters forms the collective soul of this global movement. My intent is to make sure that LFN shines as an example of the community, where commiters’ importance is fully recognized.  One of my main goals will be to work on constant improvements of the two-way communication between the LFN Leadership and the commiters communities across all LFN projects.
