Kyle –

I see a Good and a Sad things here,

The Good one being, you lighted the path for new PTL to come up. The Sad thing is we are missing your leadership.
Hope you still lead the team in dotted line. ☺

Kyle,
Thank you for the hard work you did making neuron project and neutron community  better!
You have been open and very supportive as a neutron community lead.
Hope you will stay involved.

I'm writing to let everyone know that I do not plan to run for Neutron PTL for a fourth cycle. Being a PTL is a rewarding but difficult job, as Morgan recently put it in his non-candidacy email [1]. But it goes further than that for me. As Flavio put it in his post about "Being a PTL" [2], it's a full time job. In the case of Neutron, it's more than a full time job, it's literally an always on job.

I've tried really hard over my three cycles as PTL to build a stronger web of trust so the project can grow, and I feel that's been accomplished. We have a strong bench of future PTLs and leaders ready to go, I'm excited to watch them lead and help them in anyway I can.
As was said by Zane in a recent email [3], while Heat may have pioneered the concept of rotating PTL duties with each cycle, I'd like to highly encourage Neutron and other projects to do the same. Having a deep bench of leaders supporting each other is important for the future of all projects.
See you all in Tokyo!
Kyle
