Similar as Shannon, I will not join the Gold member election this time. Intel will become a silver member of OIF in 2023. For me, it is an honor to be part of the board. Intel has been in OpenStack Foundation from the very beginning. We feel very proud to be part of the journey together with the Foundation and ecosystem partners to achieve the amazing success of OpenStack. Working with partners, we have contributed multiple projects including Kata Container and StarlingX to the foundation. We will continue to be part of the OIF community, and continue to collaborate with OIF and community partners in driving cloud computing technologies.

Cisco leadership has determined that we won’t renew our sponsorship for next year. It has been an absolute pleasure being a part of this community for the last decade+. Since I got involved in OpenStack in early 2011, I have seen this community grow and thrive and so much of it is because of folks like you who have dedicated so much time and effort into building the greatest OSS community on earth. Thanks so much for your friendship, mentorship and leadership. You are world-class humans and I am honored to have been a part of this awesome group.
