Open Stack

All,

I just wanted to communicate that I am not going to be running for 
another term as Cinder's PTL.

It has been an honor to lead the Cinder team for the last two years.  
When I started working with OpenStack nearly 6 years ago, leading the 
Cinder team was one of my goals and I appreciate the team trusting me 
with this responsibility for the last 4 cycles.

I have enjoyed watching the project evolve over the last couple of 
years, going from a focus on getting new features in place to a focus on 
ensuring that customers get reliable storage management with an ever 
improving user experience.

Cinder's value in the storage community outside of OpenStack has been 
validated as other SDS solutions have leveraged it to provide storage 
management for the many vendors that Cinder supports. Cinder continues 
to grow by adding things like cinderlib, making it relevant not only in 
virtualized environments but also for containerized environments.  I am 
glad that I have been able to help this evolution happen.

As PTLs have done in the past, it is time for me to pursue other 
opportunities in the OpenStack ecosystem and hand over the reigns to a 
new leader.  Cinder has a great team and will continue to do great 
things.  Fear not, I am not going to go anywhere, I plan to continue to 
stay active in Cinder for the foreseeable future.

Again, thank you for the opportunity to be Cinder's PTL, it has been a 
great ride!

Sincerely,

Jay Bryant
