Thank you very much Slawek. I wanted to chime in with a request to prospective candidates. While it is not an official requirement to add your affiliation information to your foundation profile: https://www.openstack.org/profile/ Please consider doing so. Maybe it's also a good opportunity to check if your affiliation is up to date :) If you are a candidate to the OpenStack Technical Committee, our bylaws require us to limit the number of members from a single affiliation [1], so declaring your affiliation matters so our tooling can prominently present this information to election officials. Thank you very much for your cooperation. Goutham [1] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/charter.html#tc-diversity-requ...

A further point on this topic, https://openstack.biterg.io/ queries the affiliation data from foundation profiles of project contributors and relies on it to associate activity with organizations. When foundation staff put together release demographics we also use that profile affiliation data, so the more people keep it accurate and updated the better our analysis and decision making becomes. Approximately 59% of the contributors whose changes merged during the 2024.1/Caracal release cycle did not indicate an affiliation even though 73% did still have a corresponding foundation profile. Anything we can do to help improve this coverage would be great! -- Jeremy Stanley
Thank you all for raising this point! It’s good for you, it’s good for the organization you work for, and it’s incredibly helpful to the OpenInfra Foundation. Update your profile today!

Thank you Jeremy for raising this topic. I noticed some StackHPC colleagues were identified in the Unknown organisation. They have updated their affiliations. Do you know if this will update existing analytics or only take effect for future commits?

It should retroactively apply to past activity using addresses that map back to the same profile, but profile updates may not be noticed right away by Bitergia since they periodically query and perform batch updates. If it doesn't self-correct within a few days, reach out to me privately and I'll look into it or engage the Bitergia folks to help troubleshoot. -- Jeremy Stanley
