Time to vote for team reps again! If you haven’t seen the spiel on one of the other team blogs about how team reps/voting/terms work, the longer explanation is after the jump. tl;dr version: time to elect reps for the first half of 2013. This past time it was Mark Riley and Scott Reilly, but since then Mark has stepped back from heavy involvement with plugins so you need at least one new rep.
Note: It can’t be folks who are already the team reps for other teams, and it should be folks who want to the responsibility (mostly posting weekly updates on team activity to the weekly updates blog). Since there are some newer members of this group it might be nice for one of them to level up and learn the ropes from Scott? Up to you guys. Anyone interested in being a plugin team rep should leave a comment saying as much so people know who they can/should vote for. Voting is open until December 15, and results will be posted here once voting closes.
I’d be interested…
Does your interest also include joining the team to help review plugins?
@scott Totally! I hadn’t seen any posts about joining the review team, so I wasn’t sure if / how that was possible.
Great! I’ll be in touch with you soon.
+1. I can’t volunteer to be the rep at the moment, but would like to get involved in the review team.
While I’m on the team, I’m content being a wrangler and not a lead. I could do it, but given my involvement with Support, obviously there’s a conflict there 
Well, what’s more important is which side you’d rather represent. If you’re more interested in being a plugins team rep, someone else could step up in forums. For that matter Scott could totally switch to meta team rep with Otto, too, if he’d rather.
Give it one more cycle. I think I’m the only support rep ‘continuing on’ this cycle, so I’d want to make sure that’s ready first!
I’m happy to step up.
For those who don’t know, I’m currently the only active rep for the team.
I am more than happy to continue in the role. However, there is also now the first official voting for reps for the meta team. Most likely Otto would be the de facto lead for that, continuing in his acting lead team rep position. That team doesn’t have very many candidates for potential reps (basically Nacin and I asides from Otto). If all the criteria Jane set forth are followed, it stands to reason I should be the secondary rep for the meta team, requiring me to relinquish my current status as a rep for plugins.
Since Mika is most likely continuing on as a rep for the support team (at least for this term), Mark seems to have stepped back from involvement with the plugins team, and Nacin will likely continue as a team rep for core, that pretty much leaves Pippin as a prime team rep candidate.
I’m cool with continuing on as a plugins team rep or moving on to the meta team, depending on where interest from others lie. If I remain we can prep Pippin as a secondary rep and follow Jane’s desired rep transition procedure, though leaving Otto as the sole meta team rep. If I switch teams, both plugins reps will be new and one will be simultaneously joining the team and becoming a rep.
I’d prefer to step up as secondary rep, simply because I’m still getting used to being on the team in general. If you’d like me to go straight to full team rep, more than happy to do so, however.
That makes the most sense, and is my preference as well, for the two of us to be the team reps. Then you can continue on in the senior role next term, to be joined by someone else (either a new member to the team or one of the others who may be coming off a team rep role for another team).
Works well for me.
