Hello all,<br>
<br>
I will not be running for Cinder PTL this next cycle. Each cycle I ran<br>
was for a reason [1][2], and the Cinder team should feel proud of our<br>
accomplishments:<br>
<br>
* Spearheading the Oslo work to allow *all* OpenStack projects to have<br>
their database being independent of services during upgrades.<br>
* Providing quality to OpenStack operators and distributors with over<br>
60 accepted block storage vendor drivers with reviews and enforced CI<br>
[3].<br>
* Helping other projects with third party CI for their needs.<br>
* Being a welcoming group to new contributors. As a result we grew greatly [4]!<br>
* Providing documentation for our work! We did it for Kilo [5], and I<br>
was very proud to see the team has already started doing this on their<br>
own to prepare for Liberty.<br>
<br>
I would like to thank this community for making me feel accepted in<br>
2010. I would like to thank John Griffith for starting the Cinder<br>
project, and empowering me to lead the project through these couple of<br>
cycles.<br>
<br>
With the community's continued support I do plan on continuing my<br>
efforts, but focusing cross project instead of just Cinder. The<br>
accomplishments above are just some of the things I would like to help<br>
others with to make OpenStack as a whole better.<br>
