+Hey everyone,
+
+I'm writing to submit my self-nomination as keystone's PTL for the Stein
+release.
+
+We've made significant progress tackling some of the major goals we set for
+keystone in Pike. Now that we're getting close to wrapping up some of those
+initiatives, I'd like to continue advocating for enhanced RBAC and unified
+limits. I think we can do this specifically by using them in keystone, where
+applicable, and finalize them in Stein.
+
+While a lot of the work we tackled in Rocky was transparent to users, it paved
+the way for us to make strides in other areas. We focused on refactoring large
+chunks of code in order to reduce technical debt and traded some hand-built
+solutions in favor of well-known frameworks. In my opinion, these are major
+accomplishments that drastically simplified keystone. Because of this, it'll be
+easier to implement new features we originally slated for this release. We
+also took time to smooth out usability issues with unified limits and
+implemented support across clients and libraries. This is going to help
+services consume keystone's unified limits implementation early next release.
+
+Additionally, I'd like to take some time in Stein to focus on the next set of
+challenges and where we'd like to take keystone in the future. One area that we
+haven't really had the bandwidth to focus on is federation. From Juno to Ocata
+there was a consistent development focus on supporting federated deployments,
+resulting in a steady stream of features or improvements. Conversely, I think
+having a break from constant development will help us approach it with a fresh
+perspective. In my opinion, federation improvements are a timely thing to work
+on given the use-cases that have been cropping up in recent summits and PTGs.
+Ideally, I think it would great to come up with an actionable plan for making
+federation easier to use and a first-class tested citizen of keystone.
+
+Finally, I'll continue to place utmost importance on assisting other services
+in how they consume and leverage the work we do.
+
+Thanks for taking a moment to read what I have to say and I look forward to
+catching up in Denver.
+
+Lance
