Showing up late, but I still wanted to leave my yes vote as I’ve known John for a long time in this community and has always been great to work with him. Contributing to documentation and the demo course seem like the perfect place where his work will help this community shine.

We’ll be making a temporary repository, openedx-demo-course-new, to start loading in and playing around with the new DemoX course content. John will get write permissions to this repo, which will become the openedx-demo-course once we’re all set. I think this is in the spirit of the original nomination but posting this for transparency’s sake.

@jill sorry I didn’t catch this earlier, but I think John should also be a CC to the old GitHub - openedx/edx-documentation repository. We’re trying to migrate docs out of there into docs.openedx.org and it would be useful for him to help with that migration.

cc @feanil do you agree?

Agreed, I think it’s great for him to get CC access to edx-documentation as well.
