You've all made good points, and I agree with them. When I saw the nomination, I had some concerns due to the reasons I stated previously, but what you have all said makes sense. Thanks for the patient explanations. In terms of this specific nomination, according to the review statistics that John posted in the other thread[1], Ollie is an obvious candidate for core, and has my support. Thanks all, Avishay [1] http://russellbryant.net/openstack-stats/cinder-reviewers-30.txt _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
