All, I will not be running for Fuel PTL for the Newton cycle.
There are many reasons why I think it's a good idea for me to step down: Fuel is a large project. In Mitaka, 224 contributors made 3200+ commits changing 700K+ lines of code [0]. That's on par with the most active OpenStack projects in this cycle: Nova and Neutron. A large project needs many leaders, and frequently rotating PTLs [1] is a good way to ensure that the project doesn't run out of people with leadership experience and that these people are not burning out.

I wasn't able to drop everything else I've been doing for Mirantis and focus on my PTL duties, and, naturally, it didn't work too well. If not for the excellent job our component leads and cores have done driving technical discussions and reviewing design specs, it wouldn't have worked at all. We've got great things planned for the Newton cycle that will require PTL's attention [3], we're going to need a full-time PTL to drive them, not someone who has to steal time for PTL duties from their other full-time job.

We missed some goals and are still arguing about others, but overall, I'm happy with how much progress we've made towards the priorities I've declared last year [4][5]. It's a good time to let someone else define new challenges for the Fuel community.
