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, -Sylvain
