Hi!

I'd like to propose myself as a candidate for the Heat PTL role, ref
Thierry's nominations email [1]

I've been professionally involved with software engineering for around 13
years, working in a variety of industries, from embedded/kernel
development to big-enterprise customer-facing consulting.

Having been involved with the Heat project from very near the start, I've
been part of the strong core team who are making this project grow from a
good idea into something people can actually use (and are using!).  

I have a deep understanding of our current code-base, and a clear view of
our future roadmap (and the challenges we face!), so I believe I am in a
good position to step into the role Steve Dake was unfortunately unable to
continue with, and do what is required to enable the Heat project to
deliver another successful release for Havana.

Having attended the summit last week, I have to say I'm even more driven
and enthusiastic about the project, so much great feedback and ideas from
our users and potential contributors.  I look forward to developing more
features our users want, and encouraging much wider community participation
in the project over the next few months.

Thanks!

Steve Hardy
