Node: CTC membership nomination: @addaleax

Created on 8 Jul 2016 · 10Comments · Source: nodejs/node

A majority of CTC members would like to propose inviting @addaleax to join. She's currently the 5th most active committer over the past 6 months, behind 4 existing CTC members. Anna clearly brings a great amount of technical depth, being able to work across most of the codebase, adding value throughout the project.

This is a public nomination process, if there are objections from @nodejs/collaborators to this nomination then feel free to speak up, although it may be more sensitive to do so in private by emailing a member of the CTC you are comfortable with.

Equally, we understand that there are other @nodejs/collaborators who work very hard and contribute a great deal of value to the project and we would like to continue to evolve the CTC to ensure it is representative of the majority of technical effort put in to Node and has a diverse enough base of opinions, perspective and technical skill areas to be able to make effective decisions regarding the future of Node. Therefore, even though we continue to assess and discuss additional candidates, we welcome input from collaborators on this process, if you think there are individuals that are making significant technical contribution who would add new perspectives or skills to the CTC please contact a CTC member that you are comfortable with to discuss it further. The CTC should not be a static group and should be both adding and shedding (we're currently discussing this side of the process fwiw) members to ensure its relevance.

According to the process that we've adopted so far, the next step would be for the CTC to invite @addaleax to join in meetings as an observer for a few meetings, then, if that goes well, to have a formal vote.

+1 to @addaleax's nomination. All my previous interactions were really nice and I get to learn a lot from her work.

In addition to all of the high praise from @rvagg, I can say that having just become a part of @nodejs/collaborators, @addaleax was incredibly helpful, welcoming and encouraging when as I began to contribute pull requests. This kind of attitude towards the community and potential contributors is a good thing and will only result in Node.js becoming an even stronger project than it already is. +1 from me.
