+Hey Nova and Placement folks,
+
+Yet again, I'm asking you to put myself on the Nova and Placement PTL seat.
+For the exact same reasons than last time (see my previous nomination e-mail),
+I was convinced to run again for this position, which hopefully will be the last
+one (despite having already said it once).
+
+
+Challenges are still upfront. Our gate is still coughing every single day and
+despite the excellent work that a very few awesome people did on stabilizing
+and which helped improving the situation (kudos to those who will recognize
+themselves), we are still urging to fix the most common patterns. As a PTL,
+I'll ensure to keep the energy to chase those issues and identify them so as a
+team we can fight them.
+
+Another concern to me is the reviewing pace. While we're continuing to deliver
+solid reviews on feature proposals and patches, our team isn't much evolving
+and we need fresh blood. In order to be able to deliver things, we need to
+ensure that we properly recognize those who dedicate a portion of their daytime
+to help others by providing valuable feedback (and I stress on the fact that
+this feedback *has to* be valuable in order to by worthy). As a PTL, I'll
+continue to encourage people to express their thoughts and concerns into Gerrit
+comments so that we are able to count on.
+
+The last challenge I have to mention here is the release cadence. Now that more
+people are getting noticed of the SLURP cadence, we'll be awaited on delivering
+our next SLURP release, which will be 2024.1 (Caracal). I'll take special
+attention to that, ensuring that our skip-level-upgrade process we have in Nova
+will conveniently work with Caracal and that our release notes correctly include
+the upgrade steps for those who skip 2023.2 (Bobcat).
+
+I'll just finish on a last word. While I really appreciated acting as a PTL for
+the last 4 cycles, I'd be more than happy if someone would like to step up and
+compete for the seat. I personnally prefer expansion over attrition and one of
+my favourite tasks is mentoring.
+
+Thanks,
+-Sylvain
