In my mind, part of being a good board member is keeping up with current OpenStack developments. I am not currently working on OpenStack, and I don't have the time to stay abreast of all of the great stuff coming down the pipe. Therefore, with a heavy heart, I wanted to let you know that I have tendered my resignation from the board. It has been an absolute pleasure working with all of you, and I hope to find my way back to OpenStack again. It has been an amazing five years and I'm confident OpenStack will continue to shape the IT landscape for years to come.

Sincerely,

Vish Ishaya
