+Hi OpenStack Telemetry folks,
+
+I'm volunteering to keep the lights on with the Telemetry project.
+
+Beyond that, I have plans to 
+
+- 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.
+- I'd like to conduct a couple of sessions during the PTG week on 
+  enhancements and also on CI.
+- finally, (and most important): get more contributors to the Telemetry
+  project.
+
+Thanks you.
+Matthias
