<br>
It's with great sadness that announcing I will be stepping down from OpenStack-Ansible's core role.<br>
OSA has been the place where I grew from contributor to OpenStack core for the first time, so it will always keep a special place in my mind :) It's also where I met contributors I can now consider personal friends. It's a project I've helped grow and prosper the last 4 years. I am very happy of what we have all achieved.<br>
<br>
My last goals in OSA were to simplify it further and a focus on bare metal. Those efforts are either merged or advanced enough nowadays. I consider I have achieved what I wanted to: OSA is now easier than ever to manage, contribute, and deliver.<br>
<br>
With more experienced people leaving and new people joining, I sure hope the DNA of the project will stay the same: An always welcoming and friendly community, with a no-bullshit and not-too-serious attitude. A project focusing on operator issues and use cases, mentoring contributors to be great members of the OpenStack community.<br>
<br>
Again, I want to thank you for being an amazing community, and it's been great working with all of you.<br>
I think there are still plenty of things OSA can achieve. If you want my opinion, you shouldn't hesitate to contact me. I just don't have enough time to keep up with the reviews, nor am I actively contributing enough to stay at core.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
Jean-Philippe Evrard (evrardjp) <br>
