My first month as Searchlight's PTL
At the end of the Rocky development cycle of OpenStack, the Technical Committee intended to remove Searchlight [1] and some other projects (e.g. Freezer) from the Governance (OpenStack official projects). The reasons for that are because Searchlight has missed several milestones and lacked communication of the PTLs (Project Technical Lead). I couldn't stand the fact that a pretty cool project would be abandoned so I nominated to be the PTL of Searchlight for the Stein cycle. I hope that I can do something to revive it.
