Hi everyone,
I have been handling release management for OpenStack since the
beginning of this story, well before Release Management was a program or
a project team needing a proper elected PTL. Until recently it was
largely a one-man job. But starting with this cycle, to accommodate the
Big Tent changes, we grew the team significantly, to the point where I
think it is healthy to set up a PTL rotation in the team.
I generally think it's a good thing to change the PTL for a team from
time to time. That allows different perspectives, skills and focus to be
brought to a project team. That lets you take a step back. That allows
to recognize the efforts and leadership of other members, which is
difficult if you hold on the throne. So I decided to put my foot where
my mouth is and apply those principles to my own team.
That doesn't mean I won't be handling release management for Mitaka, or
that I won't ever be Release Management PTL again -- it's just that
someone else will take the PTL hat for the next cycle, drive the effort
and be the most visible ambassador of the team.
It's tough to express the thanks I have for your patience and experience
in the past 5 years handling this often thankless but critically
important position.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Thierry.
Best,
-jay
