+I announce my candidacy for the PTL of the Packaging RPM project.
+
+I have been a contributor to various OpenStack projects since Havana and I'm
+one of the initial cores of the packaging RPM project. The project goal is
+to produce a production-ready set of OpenStack packages for RPM-based systems
+(like SLES, RHEL, openSUSE, Fedora, etc.).
+
+As a PTL, I would focus on:
+
+- python3 support. The currently available packages are python2 only.
+  Distros are moving to python3 as default so providing python3 packages
+  (starting with the libs and clients) should be done now.
+
+- getting more services packaged. We currently have most of the libs
+  and clients available but there are a lot of services still missing.
+
+- Improve tooling. There are still things that can be automated when
+  new packages are created or available ones updated.
+
+
+Thanks,
+Tom
