[cinder] proposing Simon Dodsley for cinder-specs-core
As everyone is painfully aware, we have review bandwidth issues in the Cinder project. I propose to address this issue with respect to cinder specs, at least, by adding a contributor who is not currently a cinder-core as a member of the cinder-specs-core team. (Right now, the only members of cinder-specs-core are the cinder-core team.)
Simon Dodsley (simondodsley on IRC) has been a cinder contributor for a long time, and has been especially active in PTGs and midcycle meetings over the past few cycles. He's done quality reviews, especially of specs, this cycle. As a vendor representative, he brings a useful perspective to reviews that affect drivers, as well as general deployment and usability issues. Additionally, given that the current core team has reviewing responsibilities spread over multiple repositories, having a person focused primarily on specs should help us to get more timely feedback for specs proposers.
Finally, don't forget that it is thanks to Simon that the Cinder mascot finally has a name ("Argo"), which in turn has given the Cinder team the really cool name "The Argonauts".
In the absence of objections, I'll add Simon to the cinder-specs-core team shortly after 1500 UTC on Friday 31 December. Please communicate any concerns to me before that time.
cheers, brian
Simon would be a great addition to the specs core team. +1 from my side.

Having heard only positive responses, I've added Simon to the cinder-specs-core team, with all the privileges and responsibilities pertaining thereto.
Congratulations, Simon!
