+Dear openstack-helmers,
+
+I'd like to announce my candidacy to be Openstack-helm PTL for the Bobcat cycle.
+
+I believe I can be a good candidate. Let me explain why.
+
+I am a Principal Devops Engineer at Mirantis and I have been actively working with cloud
+technologies since 2012. So I am not new here. Moreover I am happy to have an experience of
+having been on both sides of the barricades: deployment and usage of various cloud configurations.
+
+From 2012 till 2017 I was closely involved in development of one of the most popular
+Openstack deployment tools - Fuel, and I was Fuel PTL during Newton release cycle.
+So even PTL role is not new for me.
+
+Since 2017 I've been an active Openstack and Kubernetes user in different projects including
+fintech and telecom industries.
+
+We at Mirantis are using Openstack-helm in two large downstream projects and are very interested
+in keeping the Openstack-helm light on. Many of our engineers have decent expertise and as a Mirantis
+employee I am in constant contact with them.
+
+Openstack-helm hasn't been under very active development recently but still it is
+a very important part of the Openstack ecosystem. I believe we can continue to improve it
+to help those individuals and companies that want to benefit from using openstack-helm.
+
+What we can do is to make it even more user friendly which means the following:
+
+1) Improve the documentation
+2) Resolve/respond to existing Storyboard requests and try to react quickly to the new ones
+3) Support newer OS distributions (Ubuntu Focal, Fedora 36, Centos Stream)
+4) Support newer Openstack releases (Yoga, Zed)
+
+Thanks for reading. If you like the plan, please vote.
