+Greetings,
+
+I would like to propose my candidacy for the TripleO PTL role in the Victoria cycle.
+
+This cycle there has been a lot of progress in simplifying the TripleO
+code base and the steps in the deployment.  The team should be very proud about
+migrating from mistral to ansible, novaless deployment, the creation of
+tripleo-operator-ansible, removing paunch, and container improvements.
+We were also able to migrate Ussuri jobs from CentOS-7 to CentOS-8 in
+the nick of time.
+
+Like in the Ussuri cycle I would like to see the project continue to
+focus on simplification and improving the user experience.
+
+* Continue to push forward with tripleo-ansible and the transformation squad.
+
+* Work with ansible sig group, kolla, openstack-ansible, tempest and related projects.
+
+* Continue to simplify the stack of components where possible to achieve a
+faster, better and more efficient deployment.
+
+* Mature new features like tripleo-operator-ansible.
+
+* I would also like to focus on encouraging the project's more recent contributors to
+take a larger role in active collaboration, participation and leadership.
+
+
+Thank you for the opportunity!
