Hello,
I would like to run for the PTL election for Nova and Placement. I am fortunate to be employed by Red Hat to work on this project, and I have been doing so for about three years. This means I am quite familiar with the project's processes and codebase, though I wouldn’t call myself an expert.
To be honest, I initially thought of becoming a core member before running for this election. However, knowing that Sylvain wants to step down, and after discussing it with him and other members of the community, I realized that becoming PTL, while challenging, is a viable path and a great opportunity.
I know this role will push me out of my comfort zone and require me to work on areas where I have less experience. But I believe that sometimes, growth comes from facing new challenges. So, I took a deep breath and decided to write this message.
Regarding the future of the project, my goal is not to revolutionize anything. I believe I will need some time to find my footing, and I will do my best to continue in the direction that Sylvain has set. It won’t always be easy, but I trust in the kindness of those involved in this project to support me. I also rely on Sylvain’s mentoring, as he proposed during his candidacy, to ensure a smooth transition.
One aspect I intend to be particularly mindful of is supporting contributors in getting their code merged. Having recently merged a major feature (virtiofs) that I carried for a long time, I know how difficult and demanding the process can be—it requires a lot of resilience. That’s why I'll pay attention to making this process smoother and support contributors as effectively as I can.
Thanks, René
