Hi everyone,

After more than nine years working in cloud computing and on OpenStack, I've decided that it is time for a change and will be moving on from the OpenStack Foundation. For the last five years I've had the honor of helping to support this vibrant community, and I'm going to deeply miss being a part of it. OpenStack has been a central part of my life for so long that it's hard to imagine a work life without it. I'm proud to have helped in some small way to create a lasting project and community that has, and will continue to, transform how infrastructure is managed.

September 12 will officially be my last day with the OpenStack Foundation. As I make the move away from my responsibilities, I'll be working with community members to help ensure continuity of my efforts.

Thank you to everyone for building such an incredible community filled with talented, smart, funny, and kind people. You've built something special here, and we're all better for it. I'll still be involved with open source. If you ever want to get in touch, be it with questions about work I've been involved with or to talk about some exciting new tech or to just catch up over a tasty meal, I'm just a message away in all the usual places.

Thanks for being such a great asset in our community, your work across many different communities and involvement (specifically within the interaction across other projects, likes Kubernetes) has definitely left a long left impact!

Sincerely, Chris
