Hi all,

As a follow up from the TOC call today, the Storage SIG would like to nominate two candidates for the tech lead role: Raffaele Spazzoli and Sheng Yang.   Both have been members of the SIG for a while and have been active contributors - they will continue to help strengthen the community and bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the group.

Following the SIG operating model, Tech leads are assigned following a 2/3 majority vote of the TOC and a 2/3 majority vote of SIG Chairs.

Short bios are listed below for convenience:

Raffaele Spazzoli - Tech Lead Nominee

Raffaele is a full-stack enterprise architect with 20+ years of experience. Raffaele started his career in Italy as a Java Architect then gradually moved to Integration Architect and then Enterprise Architect.

Most of his career Raffaele worked with large financial institutions allowing him to acquire an understanding of enterprise processes and security and compliance requirements of large enterprise customers.

Sheng Yang - Tech Lead Nominee
