Hey Nova and Placement folks,
|
|
|
|
Yet again, I'm asking you to put myself on the Nova and Placement PTL seat.
|
|
For the exact same reasons than last time (see my previous nomination e-mail),
|
|
I was convinced to run again for this position, which hopefully will be the last
|
|
one (despite having already said it once).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Challenges are still upfront. Our gate is still coughing every single day and
|
|
despite the excellent work that a very few awesome people did on stabilizing
|
|
and which helped improving the situation (kudos to those who will recognize
|
|
themselves), we are still urging to fix the most common patterns. As a PTL,
|
|
I'll ensure to keep the energy to chase those issues and identify them so as a
|
|
team we can fight them.
|
|
|
|
Another concern to me is the reviewing pace. While we're continuing to deliver
|
|
solid reviews on feature proposals and patches, our team isn't much evolving
|
|
and we need fresh blood. In order to be able to deliver things, we need to
|
|
ensure that we properly recognize those who dedicate a portion of their daytime
|
|
to help others by providing valuable feedback (and I stress on the fact that
|
|
this feedback *has to* be valuable in order to by worthy). As a PTL, I'll
|
|
continue to encourage people to express their thoughts and concerns into Gerrit
|
|
comments so that we are able to count on.
|
|
|
|
The last challenge I have to mention here is the release cadence. Now that more
|
|
people are getting noticed of the SLURP cadence, we'll be awaited on delivering
|
|
our next SLURP release, which will be 2024.1 (Caracal). I'll take special
|
|
attention to that, ensuring that our skip-level-upgrade process we have in Nova
|
|
will conveniently work with Caracal and that our release notes correctly include
|
|
the upgrade steps for those who skip 2023.2 (Bobcat).
|
|
|
|
I'll just finish on a last word. While I really appreciated acting as a PTL for
|
|
the last 4 cycles, I'd be more than happy if someone would like to step up and
|
|
compete for the seat. I personnally prefer expansion over attrition and one of
|
|
my favourite tasks is mentoring.
|
|
|
|
Thanks,
|
|
