As time goes on it is natural for corporate interests to ebb and flow. Sometimes this comes as a new side project which complements OpenStack. Sometimes it is a negative hit where several contributors are abruptly in search of new jobs. Sadly, I think there is some normalcy to that. What we do often experience is the reverse reverse where someone has left[0] and later returns to the community. Since Jim has resumed working on Ironic[1], I think it naturally makes sense to add Jim back to ironic-core. This has come up for discussion several times amongst the ironic-core members over the past two months since Jim returned, including at the PTG. Every member of ironic-core has expressed positive feedback to re-adding Jim. In less than two months, Jim has resumed reviewing[2] and contributing to ongoing discussions in the community. He has expressed a desire to help and there is no reason we should deny him the ability. I will re-add Jim to ironic-core sometime this week if there are no objections. If anyone objects, please do so promptly. -Julia [0] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-June/118036.html [1] http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-ironic/%23openstack-ironic.2017-12-06.log.html#t2017-12-06T17:24:39 [2] http://stackalytics.com/report/contribution/ironic/90
