See you all in Tokyo!

Re: [openstack-dev] [neutron] PTL Non-Candidacy

[Livnat Peer]

Kyle,
Thank you for the awesome work you did in the past 3 cycles as PTL.
You made hard decisions and drove changes that resulted in a more
welcoming, easier to work with community, not to mention a more
healthy project.
I'm very happy I had the chance to work with you,

Livnat

Kyle, I'm afraid I won't be original, but I'd like to add my words to
the stream of thanks to you.  Although I've only been in the Neutron
community for a short time so far, I have felt very welcomed, and I
think that's largely due to the positive and open-minded feeling that
you have embodied.

Neil

Wow, it took me by surprise. :( I want you to know that your leadership for the 
last cycles was really game changing, and I am sure you should feel good 
leaving the position with such a live and bright and open community as it is 
now. Thanks a lot for what you did to the neutron island!

I am also very happy that you don’t step back from neutron, and maybe we’ll see 
you serve the position one more time in the future. ;)

However hard it is, for you set the bar too high, I believe this community will 
find someone to replace you in this role, and we’ll see no earthquakes and 
disasters.

See you in Tokyo! [You should give a talk about how to be an awesome PTL!]

Kyle –

I see a Good and a Sad things here,

The Good one being, you lighted the path for new PTL to come up. The Sad thing 
is we are missing your leadership.
Hope you still lead the team in dotted line. ☺

Let me join the rest of the Neutron team in thanking you for the great effort

I do believe it is great to have a rotational leadership and I do encourage the 
next Neutron PTL to do the same.

Thanks! You did a great job. Looking back you made some very tough and healthy 
decisions. Neutron has a new lease on life!
It is tradition that the exiting PTL buy drinks for the community :)

Subject: [openstack-dev] [neutron] PTL Non-Candidacy

I'm writing to let everyone know that I do not plan to run for Neutron PTL for 
a fourth cycle. Being a PTL is a rewarding but difficult job, as Morgan 
recently put it in his non-candidacy email [1]. But it goes further than that 
for me. As Flavio put it in his post about "Being a PTL" [2], it's a full time 
job. In the case of Neutron, it's more than a full time job, it's literally an 
always on job.

I've tried really hard over my three cycles as PTL to build a stronger web of 
trust so the project can grow, and I feel that's been accomplished. We have a 
strong bench of future PTLs and leaders ready to go, I'm excited to watch them 
lead and help them in anyway I can.

As was said by Zane in a recent email [3], while Heat may have pioneered the 
concept of rotating PTL duties with each cycle, I'd like to highly encourage 
Neutron and other projects to do the same. Having a deep bench of leaders 
supporting each other is important for the future of all projects.

See you all in Tokyo!
Kyle

Re: [openstack-dev] [neutron] PTL Non-Candidacy

[Gal Sagie]

Kyle,

Thank you for all the great time as PTL, you set a high bar for the next
person.
I think the Neutron community was lucky to have you in this position, your
devotion and passion
to OpenStackt, to Neutron and to Open source is inspiring and one of the
reasons i love this community.
In my eyes and i am sure others will agree you were always available and
ready to help to experienced
and new comers alike, your finger prints are hopefully going to remain in
this community
for a long time.

I personally think this deserve a drinking party in Tokyo...  Salvatore?

Re: [openstack-dev] [neutron] PTL Non-Candidacy

[Assaf Muller]

Kyle, you've really done a fantastic job during your time. The community is
now much more welcoming, and I think that working on Neutron is now much
easier. We've grown to be a very positive and constructive community and
that's not always been the case. I distinctly remember many conversations
with a wide range of people about this exact topic over the last year and a
half, all praising the changes you've been leading. Kudos.

Re: [openstack-dev] [neutron] PTL Non-Candidacy

[Brandon Logan]

Kyle,
This news saddens me, but I completely understand.  You've been a great
PTL and I appreciate everything you have done for Neutron.  Enjoy your
new found free time after this.

Thanks,
Brandon

[openstack-dev] [neutron] PTL Non-Candidacy

[Kyle Mestery]

I'm writing to let everyone know that I do not plan to run for Neutron PTL
for a fourth cycle. Being a PTL is a rewarding but difficult job, as Morgan
recently put it in his non-candidacy email [1]. But it goes further than
that for me. As Flavio put it in his post about "Being a PTL" [2], it's a
full time job. In the case of Neutron, it's more than a full time job, it's
literally an always on job.

I've tried really hard over my three cycles as PTL to build a stronger web
of trust so the project can grow, and I feel that's been accomplished. We
have a strong bench of future PTLs and leaders ready to go, I'm excited to
watch them lead and help them in anyway I can.

As was said by Zane in a recent email [3], while Heat may have pioneered
the concept of rotating PTL duties with each cycle, I'd like to highly
encourage Neutron and other projects to do the same. Having a deep bench of
leaders supporting each other is important for the future of all projects.

See you all in Tokyo!
Kyle
