+This is my candidacy to be the PTL for the OpenStack Manila
+team through the Wallaby cycle. I am no longer a stranger to this role,
+and I've had an excellent team to work with during the past two cycles that
+serving as PTL has become an absolute pleasure besides being an honor. I've
+learned by experience that a successful project leader is one that has a
+great team.
+
+I seek to lead an aspirational team that goes all distances to grow, as is
+evidenced by every member spending a substantial amount of their time mentoring
+new contributors, and providing an on-boarding ramp to OpenStack - whether this
+is through informal introductions along the sidelines of conferences, or stray
+explorers finding us on IRC/email, or engaging with invaluable supporters of
+diversity and curiosity in the likes of Outreachy, Google Summer of Code, and
+the Grace Hopper Celebration.
+
+I seek to lead a committed team that wants to learn and better itself
+continuously. We've adopted a proactive policy to bug triage that has kept us
+rooted to users and their pain points; These bug triages have led to
+effective (and fun) community "doc-a-thon" and "bug-a-thon" events. Many a
+times, great effort does not result in great glory. I am proud of the work we
+do to enhance e2e testing. There are no press releases that reflect this, but I
+assure you that this work matters a lot to our users.
+
+I seek to lead an informed team. Innovation arrives here often by standing on
+the shoulders of the giants. The team works with technology that's been
+perfected over decades, as well as with novel breakthroughs of the recent
+years. We participate in adjacent communities, and adapt while also advocating
+the lessons we learned in this one.
+
+So, if you will have me, I wish to serve you through Wallaby and get things
+done. Apart from our commitment to OpenStack-wide goals, and the improvements
+we've charted out, I wish to prioritize a few more work items:
+
+- Improve fault tolerance - we've identified some gaps in resource health
+  when certain kinds of service disruptions occur, we'll fix these up.
+- Achieve OpenStackCLI/SDK/UI parity - there's a lot left to do in this space,
+  and we've actively been chipping away at this for the past two cycles.
+- API policy improvements - work on the "admin-everywhere" problem with the
+  pop-up team and support fine grained policies in tune with the model of
+  multi-tenancy we cater to.
+
+Thank you for your support,
+
