[OSA][openstack-ansible] Stepping down from core reviewer
Hello OSA friends,
It's with great sadness that announcing I will be stepping down from OpenStack-Ansible's core role. 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.
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.
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.
Again, I want to thank you for being an amazing community, and it's been great working with all of you. 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.
All the best, Jean-Philippe Evrard (evrardjp)
Oh! Indeed, very sad day! Good luck and thank you for your support.

Oh, it's really very sad and it's another big loss for the project... Thank you for all your input and mentoring you gave to everyone involved in the project!

Agreed this is a sad day - you've been super cool helping me grapple with all that comes with OpenStack, and I wholeheartedly agree that the OSA community has been a special place where deployers have "got on with it" in a very user oriented way.
Hopefully we can maintain that DNA you describe... your description is spot on, and thanks for being part of creating it :)

You've done an enormous contribution, evrard!
Not only to me as a contributor but to the whole project!
I wish you success!
