Hello,

I am hereby announcing my candidancy as OpenStack Chef PTL for the Xena release cycle.

Over the past year we have made a lot of progress on cleaning up and improving OpenStack Chef both in testing and functionality.

My goals for the coming release cycle:

• Release cookbooks for the Train release
• Add support for CentOS 8
• Get cookbooks updated to support Ussuri, Victoria, Wallaby and Xena releases
• Start migrating cookbooks to be more resource driven similar to Sous Chefs cookbooks and move away from using attributes (where possible).

Thanks-

Lance Albertson (ramereth)
