Open Stack

Hi all,

Flavio, thanks for submitting your candidacy for Zaqar. As one of the
developers working on the Zaqar project, I wanted to say that your guidance
will be truly appreciated for the next cycle. The status for the project is
really good, and there is a lot to do, great ideas for new features, and
many people that wants to help. We also have many Outreachy applicants
interested in join Zaqar in the next cycle, so having your lead is very
important for us.

It's needless to say that you can count on the Zaqar team to make this
happen and avoid burnout (if possible).

All the best,

Victoria
