+Hi all,
+
+I'm writing this email to propose myself as Qinling PTL for Stein dev cycle.
+
+I have been serving as Qinling PTL in Rocky, the first dev cycle for Qinling as
+an official OpenStack project. Qinling is a small team for now but we did have
+made significant improvements and enhancements during Rocky, e.g. support TLS
+communication with k8s API server, support untrusted runtime so that Qinling
+can leverage the security container technology such as Kata container and
+gVisor to run untrusted functions, we also add function alias support to make
+it easy to invoke the function for the function consumers. Additionally,
+Qinling documentation also has improved a little bit thanks to all the
+contributors.
+
+Although there are a bunch of competitors to Qinling in serverless area
+especially in k8s ecosystem, the main difference between Qinling and other
+solutions is OpenStack is always the first citizen in Qinling's world, support
+the integration with other OpenStack services is always our first priority. So
+we won't compete with other FaaS projects and we don't care.
+
+So speaking of Stein, I'd like to take some time to focus on the next set of
+challenges to make Qinling production ready as soon as possible(it's also an
+internal goal in my own team):
+
+- Continue to work on the runtime security issue
+- High availability of qinling-api and qinling-engine
+- More intelligent execution scale algorithm
+
+Besides, all other contributions to Qinling are welcomed.
+
+Thank you all for taking a moment to read what I have to say.
+
+Lingxian Kong
