+Hi All
+
+After taking a (PTL) break for the Ussuri cycle I'd like to
+announce my candidacy for PTL of the OpenStack Charms project
+for the Victoria cycle.
+
+The Ussuri Cycle has co-incided with a number of underlying
+technology changes in main OS distribution that the OpenStack
+Charms target (Ubuntu), and we've made great progress during
+the cycle to support MySQL 8 InnoDB Clustering and OVN as
+new deployment choices for the upcoming release including
+having automated migration paths from previous technology
+selections in these areas.
+
+The Victoria cycle will have less material changes for the
+OpenStack Charms project so is a great opportunity to burn
+down on the technical debt TODOs across the project to
+further stabilise and mature the project codebase.
+
+As always I'm sure there will be new and interesting features
+to expose across the OpenStack Charms and I look forward to
+helping steer the project for the next 6 months!
+
+Cheers
+
+James
