+Greetings Stackers!
+
+One of the most refreshing and energizing things for me as a contributor
+to the Ironic project, is what we achieve from the prior cycle.
+As a leader, it makes me feel warm, fuzzy, and full of happiness and
+pride in the efforts of our Ironic family, as we walk our path to total
+world domination.
+
+And so, It would be an honor for me to lead us again during this
+upcoming Xena cycle. As such, I hereby announce my candidacy for
+Ironic Project Team Leader for the Xena cycle.
+
+My goal for this cycle is simplification, and performance.
+
+We must be easier for operators to use.
+
+And we must be able to enable operators to use our advanced features
+in larger deployments. And while they can today, if they know how to
+carefully architect and tune their deployment, we should make it as
+easy as an `easy button <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsQXadrmhws>`_.
+
+Julia (TheJulia) Kreger
