+Hi,
+
+I would like to self-nominate for the role of PTL of Blazar for the 2025.1
+release cycle. I have been PTL since the Stein cycle and I am willing to
+continue in this role.
+
+The core reviewer team was extended with two new contributors this year and we
+are actively working on merging the flavor-based instance reservation feature
+in Dalmatian.
+
+I will keep working with the community to deliver improvements and increase the
+adoption of Blazar.
+
+Thank you for your support,
+Pierre Riteau (priteau)
