Subject: [openstack-dev] [cinder] PTL Non-Candidacy

Hello all,

I will not be running for Cinder PTL this next cycle. Each cycle I ran was for a reason [1][2], and the Cinder team should feel proud of our
accomplishments:

* Spearheading the Oslo work to allow *all* OpenStack projects to have their database being independent of services during upgrades.
* Providing quality to OpenStack operators and distributors with over
60 accepted block storage vendor drivers with reviews and enforced CI [3].
* Helping other projects with third party CI for their needs.
* Being a welcoming group to new contributors. As a result we grew greatly [4]!
* Providing documentation for our work! We did it for Kilo [5], and I was very proud to see the team has already started doing this on their own to prepare for Liberty.

I would like to thank this community for making me feel accepted in 2010. I would like to thank John Griffith for starting the Cinder project, and empowering me to lead the project through these couple of cycles.

With the community's continued support I do plan on continuing my efforts, but focusing cross project instead of just Cinder. The accomplishments above are just some of the things I would like to help others with to make OpenStack as a whole better.
