+Hello,
+
+
+I'd like to announce my candidacy for the PTL role in Puppet OpenStack, to
+continue my PTL role for the Bobcat cycle.
+
+For the recent few cycles we have successfully updated our modules to keep
+them up-to-date with the OpenStack projects and underlying operating systems
+(such as CentOS Stream 9 or Ubuntu 22.04).
+
+I expect the next cycle would be a stable one compared to the past cycles
+because of no major changes we are aware of now, and I'd like to focus more on
+items to make our future maintenance easier
+
+* Adapt to updates in each component
+* Review status of our modules and remove unmaintained ones or implementations
+
+Thank you for your consideration.
+
+Thank you,
+Takashi
