+Hi OpenStack Telemetry folks,
+
+I'm volunteering to keep the lights on with the Telemetry project.
+
+Over the last cycle, we achieved
+
+- get more data added to ceilometer, e.g to expose names of projects, 
+  machines, etc. in addition to UUIDs. That will help with the usability
+  of dashboards at the end.
+- get a replacement for the ceilometer data export to prometheus to fix
+  remaining issues.
+- autoscaling was updated/fixed so that it uses aggregates in gnocchi.
+
+Looking forward, there is a bit of cleanup to be done.
+
+Thanks you.
+Matthias
