+Greetings!
+
+I have been truly amazed by our accomplishments of the last six months and
+I wish to continue this momentum. As such I am announcing my candidacy and
+self nomination for the position of Ironic PTL.
+
+I promise to continue the application of irony. This past cycle has been
+very eye opening for me and has taught me a lot about the community at large
+and the challenges they face. My passion has not wavered and I wish to 
+continue enhancing ironic's capabilities.
+
+Operators are central to our community, and we need to continue
+enhancements that help operators but at the same time we need to
+revisit our old ideas and plans.
+
+In a sense we have already started to do this and we need to continue it.
+Efforts such as splitting iPXE out of PXE make lots of sense and better
+enables mixed hardware and even architecture fleets to co-exist.
+
+My vision for this next cycle is to setup ironic to become the the
+defacto API driven hardware provisioning toolkit. This will naturally
+mean some more work and we will need to continue with our momentum and focus
+on enablement and performance enhancements to improve the user experience.
+
+Thank you for your consideration.
+
+Julia Kreger (TheJulia)
