Hello everyone,

Following up with the call for mainteiners, in this post I’d like to nominate Diana Olarte (@dcoa) as an Open edX Core Contributor and maintainer. Diana has contributed code to the frontend of the project, more specifically frontend-platform, paragon and most frontend-apps.

**About @dcoa**  
Diana has been contributing to the Open edX project since 2022 you can find their [contributions here](https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aopenedx+org%3Aoverhangio+author%3Adcoa+is%3Amerged&type=pullrequests)  
You can also find her in [discuss](https://discuss.openedx.org/u/dcoa/summary) regularly.

**Major highlights include**  
Adding the MFE Config API changes on frontend-platform.  
Adding configuration runtime in all the frontend apps.  
Adding features and testing as a collaboration for the PR#440 for MFE theming.  
[Discuss posts explaining MFE theming for newcommers](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/how-to-use-microfrontend-in-a-multitenant-instance/6936)

**Access Sought**  
I’m nominating Diana so that she can become a maintainer of frontend-build, which is currently looking for one. This would first make her a core code contributor and then maintainer. So far she has not contributed code to this particular repo, but I hope the demonstrable knowledge she has on the MFEs and frontend-platform will vouch for her capacity to contribute here.

**Commitment**  
Diana has a commitment from her employer to contribute 20/month towards core contributor work.

**Comment Period**  
For this nomination to pass, Diana needs 5 positive votes and no unaddressed objections in the next 3 weeks so the end of the period would be April 4.

👍 for @dcoa as core contributor to frontend. I haven’t worked directly with her before, but her PRs and forum posts demonstrate the 3 C’s. 😄

I have no objections on this point either. But I’m not as familiar with the frontend repos, so would feel more comfortable if some frontend CCs weighed in here.
