+Hi,
+
+with this, I'm throwing my hat a third time into the ring to serve
+as Telemetry PTL.
+
+During the last cycle, we deprecated Panko from the Telemetry stack,
+there will be no more panko releases for newer OpenStack versions.
+
+If someone is following one of the many OpenStack autoscaling examples,
+they will probably run into the issue that cpu_util is mentioned as the
+metric to watch. It has been removed a long time ago, but folks are
+still running into this and it may make sense to just add it back.
+
+Depending on community interest, I am planning to organize PTG sessions
+like we did last April.
+
+Thank you for your support and your consideration,
+Matthias
