My goal for OpenDaylight has always been the same: deliver the quality and usability required for the controller to be broadly consumed and ultimately deployed in production, while fostering projects collaboration and contributors innovation. OpenDaylight has evolved since its start and I believe current users are looking for a stable, flexible and scalable platform they can use to write SDN applications. As a TSC member I would like to work in community matters like: new contributors welcome, lower entry barrier, users technical support, updated documentation, or simpler processes; as well as technical matters like current platform features and scale readiness, integration with new technologies (e.g. Kubernetes) or southbound devices interoperability.

I have always been a active contributor to Opendaylight, also used ODL for all POC's and other activities. Recently involved in efforts to make ODL an application for cloud, which will make it more scalable and invite many new users and deployments. As a TSC member, will work towards improving testin, documentation and also help new members to make contributions with much ease.
@Guillaume Lambert
Biography
Guillaume Lambert is a Telecomunication Engineer and has been working for Orange since 2003.
He has been interested in Open Source and Free Software since he was graduating at ENST Bretagne and he took part to its Linux User Groups and to the "Groupe de Réflexion et d'Animation Autour du Libre" .
During his carreer at Orange, he was involved in various in-house developments and deployments, for example on Single-Sign-On platforms based on Liberty Alliance specifications or on IP Networks Monitoring systems relying on Netflow/IPFIX.
Guillaume joined Orange Labs transmission department in 2015 and the OpenDaylight Community in 2016. Since then, he has been actively promoting and contributing to it.
He is currently the PTL of the transportPCE project and is occasionnaly contributing to others projects such as BGPCEP and docs.
Statement of Intent
I would like to promote OpenDaylight as a network controller implementation of reference. There are lots of challenges today in the area of open and interoperable standards. And I believe OpenDaylight is one of the best platform to implement these new standards or to speed up their adoption, but also to mutualize companies effort to this end.
During these last years, I had also to take the train on the way and to learn from scratch how to integrate transportPCE to the OpenDaylight official distributions. I think that my experience can benefit the TSC to improve our operating modes inside the community and to attract new contributors. This last topic is getting more and more important since OpenDaylight has now a strong legacy and higher requirements for quality that are faced by newcomers.
