This is fantastic, and I wholeheartedly vote yes to getting him on board. He’s been absolutely invaluable and tireless in the OARS work. I would have nominated him myself, but I’m not actually sure what repos to ask for since we’re in the middle of sorting out combining OARS with Cairn which will likely change the repo landscape significantly.

I’d suggest these to start off with and we can modify as necessary as time goes by:

@mgmdi what’s the end of the comment period for this nomination? :slight_smile:
