<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">Hey Everyone,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">
So I don't want to perpetuate the email regarding the most recent nomination, and I'd also like to not cloud any thoughts regarding current nominations. I think the point has come across and we all have more important work to do.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">I would however like to share some thoughts about Cinder core again (I did this last time around here: [1]). I received mixed responses from folks about this approach, and as with most things my thoughts, ideas and processes are continually evolving here.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">I've had a number of discussions with folks since this email and in recent weeks about core and core criteria and we've definitely circled back to core being more strictly about review participation (those folks that hammered me on this, *yes, you told me so*). The main job of core member is to review, therefore that should be the deciding factor. Even though participation and activity in the community is incredibly important and valuable, the job is to do core reviews.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">That being said we're going to focus more on review activity than anything else. This also means that each cycle we'll likely do a clean up of core and remove folks who don't seem to have the time or interest in participating as much as they may have in the past.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">Anyway, please be clear... the entire Cinder team is MORE than interested in active participation, especially in the form of reviews and I don't believe that there is any shortage for more core reviewers, regardless of company affiliation, type of dog they have etc.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">I'd still like to encourage and welcome anybody and everybody interested to jump in and participate in Cinder reviews.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">Just for a point of reference, Mike Perez and I have *borrowed* Russell's useful script once again and tabulated the review results over the last 30 days to give some perspective [2].</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">Thanks,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">
