Jay, Thank you for your hard work as PTL, core reviewer, and coder. I'm really glad to hear this is not a goodbye and you will be staying with us in Cinder. :-) Cheers, Gorka. On 30/08, Jay Bryant wrote:

All,

I just wanted to communicate that I am not going to be running for another term as Cinder's PTL.

It has been an honor to lead the Cinder team for the last two years.  When I started working with OpenStack nearly 6 years ago, leading the Cinder team was one of my goals and I appreciate the team trusting me with this responsibility for the last 4 cycles.

I have enjoyed watching the project evolve over the last couple of years, going from a focus on getting new features in place to a focus on ensuring that customers get reliable storage management with an ever improving user experience.

Cinder's value in the storage community outside of OpenStack has been validated as other SDS solutions have leveraged it to provide storage management for the many vendors that Cinder supports. Cinder continues to grow by adding things like cinderlib, making it relevant not only in virtualized environments but also for containerized environments.  I am glad that I have been able to help this evolution happen.

As PTLs have done in the past, it is time for me to pursue other opportunities in the OpenStack ecosystem and hand over the reigns to a new leader.  Cinder has a great team and will continue to do great things.  Fear not, I am not going to go anywhere, I plan to continue to stay active in Cinder for the foreseeable future.

Again, thank you for the opportunity to be Cinder's PTL, it has been a great ride!

Sincerely,

Jay Bryant
