I am writing to nominate **María Fernanda Magallanes** (@mafermazu) as an Open edX Core Contributor. María has already contributed code to the edx-platform and has exemplified the “3 Cs”. ### About María María has been contributing to the Open edX project since 2021 you can find [their contributions here](https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aopenedx++author%3Amafermazu++is%3Amerged&type=pullrequests&s=created&o=asc). #### Major highlights include - Adding the MFE Config API, a PR that took over 3 months of discussion and iteration to land. - Adding/Updating rest APIs to enable commerce integration with the WooCommerce platform. ### Access Sought I’d like to get access for María to - edx-platform - The new woo commerce plugin repo when that is transferred to the openedx organization. ### Conduct and Caliber María has been amazing to work with, she is a great communicator([example](https://github.com/openedx/public-engineering/issues/22#issuecomment-1754239389)) and has shown both patience and flexibility when receiving feedback on work she has done. ### Commitment María has a commitment from her employer to contribute 20h/month towards core contributor work. ### Comment Period For this nomination to pass, María needs 5 positive votes and no unaddressed objections by October 30.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mafer on our developer tools and fully agree that she deserves to be a Core Contributor. She’s experienced with the project and is an extremely enthusiastic about collaborating with the community! Along with the highlights Feanil listed, she contributed the [Tutor patch listing tool](https://github.com/openedx/wg-developer-experience/issues/50) and is a maintainer of edunext’s [tutor version manager](https://github.com/edunext/tvm) tool, which she [presented on at the 2023 conference](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX7uIW5wel8&list=PL87xhvJSz2W5rViUF9-cf6xvYAZMlJAFV&index=48)! ---
