<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">As the
architectural foundation of OpenStack, keystone tends to be
the first project that users work with, and we either win them
or lose them in the process... often before they get a chance
to play with the power of OpenStack. As a result, my focus is
generally on user experience at all levels -- intuitive API's,
solid docs, readable code, helpful error messages on failure,
well tested code paths, etc. I believe that getting these
things right is what makes or breaks a project in terms of
community contributions and forward momentum. We have to keep
winning over new users.</div>

I'd like to endorse Dolph's candidacy.<br>
<br>
In the past few months, Dolph has been the De Facto leader of the
development process. The degree of maturity and thoroughness he's
brought to the process has been phenomenal. To be honest, the
reason I am not running is because I feel quite strongly that Dolph
should be the PTL.<br>
