+Hello,
+
+
+I'd like to announce my candidacy for Heat PTL during the Bobcat cycle.
+
+I've been contributing to the project for several cycles and one of the core
+reviewers in the project. My contribution has been focusing on keeping our CI
+green so that we can merge new changes such as bug fixes or new features.
+
+For this cycle I'd like to propose a few items as focus items.
+
+* Keep CI green
+
+This is our top priority. Keeping CI healthy is very important so that we can
+operate the project properly.
+
+* Adapt to changes in the other projects
+
+Because heat relies on the other projects such as Nova to create resources,
+it's important to adapt to the changes in underlying components (eg. API
+microversions).
+
+* Migration to OpenStack SDK
+
+This is currentyl an important work so that some other projects such as
+Neutron can complete migration from own client libraries. We already have
+some patches proposed by Neutron cores (Thank you !) and reviewing and merging
+these patches would be prioritized for the next cycle.
+
+Thank you for your consideration !
+
+Thank you,
+Takashi
