as per OEP-54, I’d like to nominate @omar to extend his coding core contributor permissions to the openedx-translations and openedx-atlas repositories.
Motivation
Omar has been working on the implementation of OEP-58 Translations Management and is quickly becoming one of the very few experts in this area of our system. I firmly believe we need more experts in the area of translations available to review and merge PRs, and Omar is definitely an expert at this point, having co-designed the finer points of the OEP-58 implementation.
Comment period
Given that the change is of limited scope I believe this review period could be of 1 week as stated in the oep and the date limit should be 12 June 2023.
Omar has done an incredible job with managing a project that spans so many repositories, as well as with developing robust solutions to any problems that have come up during the process.
@sambapete you’re allowed to vote on any CC nomination! I think the rules say that at least 5 of the votes need to come from people with the same role, but your input/insight/vote is a really good thing to have. (and, non-CCs can give comments too!)
I happily support @omar 's nomination!
He is already integral to the community, his communication on github and Slack is always friendly, smart, and well-considered, and his expertise in the translations sphere is undeniable. All the C’s!
I vote yes and would like to add that I support wholeheartedly this nomination. @omar has been a Core contributor for very long and would be difficult to find someone with more experience in the intrincacies of translations.
