+Hi All,
+
+I would like to announce my candidacy for Glance PTL for the
+Victoria cycle.
+
+Over the past couple of years we've had a small team looking
+after Glance and planned the priorities accordingly. During
+Ussuri cycle we were able to add a couple of important features
+related edge computing, plugin for image decompression,
+restored s3 driver support in glance-store, removed deprecated
+sheepdog driver and fixed some important bugs.
+
+Should community to select me as PTL for Victoria cycle I
+would keep driving the key priorities. Production stability,
+finishing the work we've had in flight and focus on the
+feature needs related to Edge computing.
+
+Thank you for taking my self nomination into consideration,
+Abhishek Kekane (abhishekk)
