Core reviewer volunteer nomination
by Cervi, Thales Elero 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

Based on the recent discussion on the core reviewers shortage and the proposals from the email thread (Proposal: Changes in Core Reviewer discussion at TSC): "If you are an active member of this community and have confidence in your knowledge of the code in one or more parts of the system, please volunteer to be a new Core Reviewer by posting on this mailing list. The other Cores will be very grateful." I am volunteering myself to be a new Core Reviewer on repositories that I've worked before (submitting and/or reviewing) and am confident on the code knowledge: * starlingx/helm-charts * starlingx/upstream Also, if it is really required, I could help with the starlingx/utilities repo, owning the "pci-irq-affinity-agent" code that is mainly used by stx-openstack application and with which I've worked before. Best Regards, Thales Elero Cervi

Core reviewer volunteer nomination
by Jaiswal, Abhishek 09 Aug '24

09 Aug '24

Based on the recent discussion on the core reviewers shortage and the proposals from the email thread (Proposal: Changes in Core Reviewer discussion at TSC): Thank you for addressing the need to increase core reviewers within the StarlingX project. I appreciate your thoughtful suggestions, and I’m excited to contribute further. Regarding your questions: * I am happy to volunteering to become a core reviewer for the following repositories: * starlingx/app-intel-device-plugins, * starlingx/config. * Additionally, I am already a core reviewer for starlingx/starlingx-app-node-interface-metrics-exporter. I believe that by taking on these roles, I can contribute to reducing the bottlenecks we’ve been experiencing and help in mentoring new contributors to become core reviewers. Looking forward to actively supporting the community! Best regards, Abhishek
