Hello everyone! I'd like to announce my candidacy for PTL of the Data Processing project (Sahara), and to describe what I hope to do to help Sahara move forward. First of all I would like to introduce myself. I've been working on the Sahara project since the Icehouse release, and since the Newton release I have been a member of the Sahara core reviewer team. I was responsible for introducing the Storm plugin to Sahara and have maintained it since its creation. Other than that, I've been working on many different features and small fixes to Sahara. Here are a summary of my contributions to Sahara: Reviews: * All-time: http://stackalytics.com/?module=sahara-group&user_id=tellesmvn&release=all * Ocata: http://stackalytics.com/?module=sahara-group&user_id=tellesmvn&release=ocata Commits: * All-time: http://stackalytics.com/?module=sahara-group&user_id=tellesmvn&release=all&metric=commits * Ocata: http://stackalytics.com/?module=sahara-group&user_id=tellesmvn&release=ocata&metric=commits As PTL I will coordinate the team to reach community goals, manage Sahara releases, and track all activities related to new features in Sahara. Also I plan to minimize the open bug list by organizing some bug triage days and bug fix weeks. Improving documentation is also a priority to allow Sahara to grow. My main focus for this coming release is finding ways to grow the Sahara team. Currently we have mentees and I would like to improve that kind of integration to bring new people to the team. As for Sahara features, I plan to establish a team and set deadlines to deliver API v2. I will also focus on preparing Sahara for Python 3.5 I hope that Sahara will continue to grow in the Pike release.
