+Hi everybody!
+
+I'd like to run for PTL of OpenStackSDK.
+
+Things are not staying on the same place. We have slowed down a bit in the last
+cycle, but surely not stopped. There is a bunch of changes to slowly start
+switching nova parts of the OpenStackClient towards SDK. In some time we will
+be able to complete this switch. This gives us lots of benefits from reduction
+of maintenance efforts in the long run, down to having proper microversion
+support in OSC out of box. We are not going to stop here and continue covering
+all nova features in SDK/CLI and start doing same for other services similarly
+to what we have already done with image service.
+
+There are lots of further things to do like finalizing integration of keyring
+support in SDK/OSC, improving caching capabilities, continuing featuring
+project cleanup, streamlining more of ansible modules, finishing adding support
+for Manila, Placement and so on and so on.
+
+I would love to keep helping moving us further and getting things implemented
+in the most effective way.
+
+Thanks!
+Artem
