My fellow OpenStack community, I would like to announce my candidacy for PTL of Designate for the Wallaby cycle. As you probably know I have been the Octavia PTL five times since the Pike release. I will continue to be involved in the Octavia project, but it is time for a change! I feel that allowing for leadership change on projects is healthy and gives others the opportunity to lead. In my downstream day job I am becoming more involved in supporting Designate as part of our OpenStack offering. This means I will be contributing more to Designate and supporting the Designate community. One of my Designate goals for the Wallaby release will be expanding the documentation available. For example, I would like to create some user cookbooks, similar to those in the Octavia documentation, that would guide users through scenarios using Designate. I am also excited to see a proposed patch for DNS “views” in Designate, so I will be supporting that development effort in any way I can help. Thank you for your support and your consideration for Wallaby, Michael Johnson (johnsom)
