<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As most of you already know, due to other commitments with work I am unable to stand for a second release as PTL for the OpenStack manuals team.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is of great sadness to me, as I have had a wonderful cycle working with you all :(<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have achieved some seriously big stuff for Pike. I am incredibly proud of where we are, and how far we have come. From the beginning of the Pike cycle – running around in circles, unsure of our future, to now having completed one of
the biggest migrations in OpenStack history. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, it is now time for the next individual to stand up and take the helm:
<a href="https://releases.openstack.org/pike/schedule.html#q-ptl-nomination">https://releases.openstack.org/pike/schedule.html#q-ptl-nomination</a> The self-nominations for Queens are open.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking forward to working with the next leader of our team! There are lots of things we have yet to accomplish, and some big changes still to come.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Thank you all,<o:p></o:p></p>
