ah - sorry - I though that one was off-list.
Andre: do you feel your concern is addressed by my clarified proposal ?

Just to clarify, as one off-list discussion raised concerns about
pressuring folk to share more than might feel comfortable: I do, of
course, intend no more than that we invite the newly-chosen to say as
much about themselves as they feel comfortable saying.  If they wish to
keep their public exposure to what's visible already on gerrit, they are
of course free to do so.

We've heard one +1 and no other public response.
Any other opinions ?

Steve Schilz asked me (24 April 2017 19:10) a pertinent question (heavily

which prompts me to a suggestion, as much the same is relevant for any
approver or maintainer: perhaps we should tweak our process for
introducing candidates for those stations within the community; ask that
each introduce self in the course of it - possibly *after* we've made
our decision, so we won't be prejudiced by their weird hobbies.  ISTR
Lars, when proposing me, just linked to my review history in gerrit;
that probably should suffice for the decision on whether to accept a
candidate - but it might be worth, once the decision is made, as a
matter of course, having the new approver or maintainer introduce self,
or link to web pages that do so.  That could be a short summary of
career, hobbies and life, like

  I've been making software less bad for about three decades, starting
  in 1982, with several breaks.  I've only had limited exposure to Qt
  prior to joining the Core and Network team at TQtC a year and a half
  ago; and I'm (not so) secretly a closet C programmer still learning
  new things in C++.  I refactor algebra as a hobby and write about
  various topics on a web-site [0] that deserves more of my time than
  I've lately found the enthusiasm to spend on it.

Or it could just be a link to a CV [1], if you have it on-line.

[0] http://www.chaos.org.uk/~eddy/
[1] http://www.chaos.org.uk/~eddy/cv/
 (a little out of date, I now notice)

Doing this might leave more of us with a sense of who each other are,
which seems like a natural thing in a community.

What do folk think ?
