Hello everyone,

This is probably not a surprise for most of you, but I think it's worth writing it down: I won't be a candidate for another term at the TC. It was a pleasure to work with all of you.

Thanks JP, for all you've done.

JP, It has been a real pleasure to get to know and work with you this past year. Thank you for your many invaluable contributions to the community! Nate On Fri, Sep 18, 2020 at 12:05:14PM +0200, Jean-Philippe Evrard wrote:

I am not leaving because I don't find the TC interesting anymore, quite the opposite. I will probably still lurk and follow the channels and ML. I just have switched to (yet) another duty at my employer, keeping me away from OpenStack. Next to this, I believe it's good to have some fresh members in the TC, it's been a while I am part of this family now :)

For those interested by running the TC: Don't hesitate to run! We need fresh ideas and motivated people. It's not by having always the same people at the helm that OpenStack will naturally or drastically evolve. If you want to change OpenStack, be the change!

Thanks to all of you. It was nice.

Regards, Jean-Philippe Evrard (evrardjp)

Thanks JP for all your excellent contribution to TC. It was a pleasure working with you there and or I should say continue working :). -gmann

JP, Thanks for everything you've done over the years for OpenStack and for me. Hopefully we'll see each other in the future, I'll miss hanging with you. Amy (spotz) On Fri, Sep 18, 2020 at 5:07 AM Jean-Philippe Evrard < jean-philippe@evrard.me> wrote:

Everyone else has pretty much covered all of the general well-wishes, so I wanted to share a quick anecdote from my time working with JP. As many of you know, I've gone through some tough times in my personal life over the past year or so. During one of the worst parts of that, JP pinged me claiming he wanted me to review something. First, he asked how I was doing and we had a chat about that. He never did ask for a review. Now, maybe he simply forgot. ;-) But I choose to believe he was just looking for an excuse to check in on me because that's the kind of person he is. It's been a pleasure, JP, and I hope our paths cross again in the future. -Ben On 9/18/20 5:05 AM, Jean-Philippe Evrard wrote:
