Hello, I am announcing my new candidacy for the PTL role for Nova and Placement. Serving as PTL in the Flamingo cycle was both a rewarding and instructive experience. It allowed me to learn the responsibilities and workload of the role, build stronger connections across the community, and help contributors move their work forward. In the next cycle, I want to continue fostering a welcoming and collaborative environment for all contributors. I will continue and improve our efforts to enhance bug triage, reduce the number of open bugs, and support timely reviews to help features progress toward completion. I am also eager to follow and participate in the Eventlet removal effort, which began in Flamingo and represents a major step for OpenStack. This is a particularly interesting challenge—not highly visible to most users, but crucial for the long-term health, performance, and maintainability of the project. My main focus, and the most important thing to me, will remain ensuring that Nova and Placement stay robust, maintainable, and aligned with our users’ needs. Thank you for your trust so far, I’d be happy to continue serving in this role. Thanks, René
