+Hi all,
+
+I would like to announce my candidacy to continue as Vitrage PTL for the Train
+release.
+
+I’ve been the PTL of Vitrage since the day it started and I'll be happy to
+continue leading it in the next six months.
+
+I think we've had a very successful Stein cycle. Our main features include:
+
+* New and simplified template language
+* Improved resource query APIs
+* New service list API
+* Integrations with more openstack components (Trove, Zaqar, Monasca)
+* More flexible configuration for the Prometheus datasource
+
+Moving forward, these are the areas that I believe we should focus on:
+
+* Continue the cross-project work that we started in Stein. Some of our plans
+  relate to the self-healing SIG effort: finish the integration with Monasca,
+  allow configuring Vitrage via Heat templates for auto-healing scenarios, and
+  in general integrate with more datasources - both OpenStack and external.
+
+* Extend the Vitrage support for Kubernetes. In addition to performing root
+  cause analysis over Kubernetes nodes, we would like to consider also Helm
+  charts, Kubernetes deployments, and optionally pods.
+
+* Improve the Vitrage UI, hopefully using a new React-based plugin.
+
+* Extend the Vitrage community. I'll be happy to see more contributors joining
+  our effort.
+
+I look forward to working with you all in the coming cycle.
+
+Thanks,
+Ifat.
