New TODO Member: Juniper Networks (VM)

[Chris Aniszczyk]

Hey all, I would like to welcome VM and Juniper to the TODO Group:

Founded in 1996, Juniper Networks exists to solve the world's most difficult problems in networking technology. Its motto of "Engineering. Simplicity." is not simply words. Juniper seeks to bring simplicity to networking with products, solutions, and services that connect the world.

Juniper Networks recognizes that a key part of simplicity is using open source development methods and collaborating with others. We leverage those methods and open source solutions to create the tools and software that solve the common problems that all companies face, freeing them to focus on innovation rather than repetition.

Through policy, process, and education, Juniper's open source program is dedicated to streamlining the use, contribution, and release of open source software by the company and its thousands of employees, enabling collaboration with companies and individuals all over the globe. Together, we are all better.

Juniper has released or contributes to free and open source projects such as OpenStack, Ansible, Salt, PyEZ, wistar, OpenNTI, Tungsten Fabric, and dozens of others. Find all of our open source projects at https://github.com/juniper.

"VM (aka Vicky) spent most of her twenty-plus years in the tech industry leading software development departments and teams, providing technical management and leadership consulting for small and medium businesses, and helping companies understand, use, release, and contribute to free and open source software in a way that's good for both their bottom line and for the community. Now, as the Director of Open Source Strategy for Juniper Networks, she leverages her nearly 30 years of free and open source software experience and a strong business background to help Juniper be successful through free and open source software. She is the author of Forge Your Future with Open Source, the first and only book to detail how to contribute to free and open source software projects. The book is published by The Pragmatic Programmers and is now available at https://fossforge.com.

Vicky is the Vice President of the Open Source Initiative, a moderator and author for opensource.com, an author for Linux Journal, and a frequent and popular speaker at free/open source conferences and events. She's the proud winner of the Perl White Camel Award (2014) and the O’Reilly Open Source Award (2016). She blogs about free/open source, business, and technical management at {anonymous => 'hash'};"

Welcome VM, glad to have you here!
