Hi, all!

Last call was a week ago, and applications are now closed. Thank you, everyone, 
who applied to volunteer as an RM!

We will put together the polls and announce the vote soon, so stay tuned.

Ben

Hello Internals,

I would like to support Eric Mann's efforts as release manager. I've
followed Eric's work for several years now and have been fortunate to meet
in person at various conferences. I believe he would be an asset to the PHP
project as a release manager.

Our release manager selection process doesn’t specify a timeframe during which 
applications should remain open, and Christoph didn’t specify any dates/times 
in his initial email[^1]. In the past, we’ve left the application period open 
for over a month or longer[^2].

However, given the late start to this process and the impending approach of the 
first 8.2 alpha, we’ll speed things along a bit.

According to the Release Process RFC[^3], “a week between the last call and the 
vote should be sufficient.”

**Consider this the “last call” for volunteers.**

We will close applications on 10 May and open the polls for voting for one 
week, with voting closing on 17 May. This will give the new RMs just under a 
month to prepare for the Alpha 1 release on 9 June.

Earlier, Joe tossed his name into the hat as the veteran RM “if no other 
veteran comes forward.” He and I have discussed that it might be a good 
practice to have one of the rookie RMs from the current release serve as the 
veteran for the next release. In this way, any new advances or changes to the 
process will be carried forward to the “next generation” much more smoothly. 
(Please note, we’re not making this a formal rule. If we want to codify this as 
a requirement, someone will make an RFC.)

With that in mind, I’m volunteering as the veteran RM for 8.2. This shouldn’t 
stop other veterans from volunteering. If that happens, we’ll vote on the 
veteran RM, as well as the rookie.

Best of luck, everyone!

Cheers,
Ben

Hi all,

The week, where applications were open is over. And I also saw the available 
candidates already got mentioned on the wiki page of PHP 8.2. So I'm curious 
when will voting start and how long will it last?

Thanks in advance

Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP 8.2 Release Manager Selection

[Pierrick Charron]

Hi,

I would also like to present myself as a Rookie RM for PHP8.2

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Pierrick. I am French (that
explains my grammar mistakes) and have been living in Montreal, Canada for
15 years now and have been working with PHP since then.
I made my first contribution to the PHP Project in 2009 by submitting a
small patch. Since then I have touched multiple parts of the PHP project. I
patched a few bugs, contributed to the french documentation translation,
wrote/maintained some pecl extensions, maintained ext/curl from 2010 to
2016. I also submitted fews RFCs with their patches, some were approved and
others rejected. I'm not a C guru but have basic knowledge of it (I never
worked professionally with it). I also have some knowledge of PHP
internals, but I did not touch the code base for quite some time. I work
with git every day and am very comfortable with it.

I would like to apply as a Rookie RM. I never had the opportunity to do
release management on a project of this scale, but I'm motivated to learn.

Thanks for considering me.

Pierrick

Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP 8.2 Release Manager Selection

[Eric Mann via internals]

I'm new to this mailing list as I'd previously (and very mistakenly) 
assumed it was meant for existing contributors. So I've always consumed 
conversations via web-based aggregators rather than directly.


My mistake.

That being said, I am very interested in being a part of this release. 
I've been using PHP since ~2005 and cut my teeth on PHP4. Since then, 
I've covered everything from Fortran to VB.net and C# to Ruby to Python 
to Golang. Today I write a mix of Python and PHP primarily (with a 
smattering of Go and a curiosity about Rust). I'm not a C guru, but in 
previous roles worked with several of them and can follow my way around 
a C codebase. I've frequently gone spelunking through PHP's system to 
help document various methods or interfaces exposed by the standard 
library as well.


I am in no way a veteran PHP RM, but I am a fairly experienced RM with 
private codebases. I live and breathe in Git, love automation, and have 
been accused of more than a passing fancy in security as well. Somewhere 
along the line I managed to coax php[architect] into publishing my book 
on the OWASP Top Ten, and they still put up with my monthly security 
column as well.


In other words, I'd love to be a part of this and am more than happy to 
answer any and all questions y'all want to throw my way.

Hey Christoph,

Do we choose one rookie for this release or two (as for 8.1)?

Also, maybe define some kind of deadline for submitting applications

I'll put my name in the hat for applying to be an RM. I actually
package PHP as a downstream (for IBM i users), have tried to do what I
can for triaging issues (usually on behalf of my clients), and have
written some PRs for upstream. The skills there should be able to
inform the process as an RM, if I become one. I see some other good
candidates though, so I think 8.2 will be in good hands regardless.

Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP 8.2 Release Manager Selection

Hi internals

After answering my questions (Thanks Christoph) I would like to pose my 
application as release manager.

I'm a 17 year old college student from Switzerland.

I've experience in triaging issues and GitHub from triaging the Microsoft 
PowerToys repository [1][2] and the opensource.microsoft.com repository [3][4]. 
My GitHub handle is aaron-junker [5].

I'm very passionate about PHP and I love programming in PHP. That's why I would 
feel very honored to be a release manager for PHP 8.2.

I will soon start to learn the basics of C. That's something I wanted to learn 
anyway.

I would love to get taken in cosideration for this role.

Best regards

Aaron Junker

That very much depends.  Doing the releases (every 2 weeks) may take an
hour or so (or much less if you're using some automation).  The other
tasks may easily take more time, especially until the first GA release.
 Note, though, that there is a second RM, so the work can be distributed.

As release manager, there is no need to *program* in C, but you should
have at least a working understanding of C to be able to roughly assess
PRs and commits, and to be able to resolve merge conflicts, if these occur.

Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP 8.2 Release Manager Selection

[Evan Sims via internals]

Hello! I'd be eager for the opportunity to be involved as a release
manager, and contributing to the PHP community I've made built my career
around.

I've been a PHP developer since 2000 (with the release of PHP4), and
although I do not work in C in my day to day anymore, I cut my
programmer teeth on the language and worked with it quite extensively
previously. Today I'm the lead PHP engineer for Auth0 (now an Okta
product group) in charge of our PHP SDKs. I previously worked for the
non-profit Ushahidi has a Senior Engineer on their PHP-based platforms.
Beyond this, and aside from my time as a technical video gamer designer,
most of my freelance professional career has been around building PHP-
based apps.

Naturally, I live in Git these days with my work, triaging bugs. I'm a
strong communicator and enjoy collaborating and engaging with the open-
source community.

Cheers,
Evan Sims

Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP 8.2 Release Manager Selection

[Aaron Junker]

Hi Internals

I have some interest in doing this. I think I know PHP and git very well and I 
also know more or less how the PHP internal processes work. However I have two 
doubts/questions:

1. How much time do I need for this task? I can't really estimate this. I sure 
have would have some time to spare, but definitely not too much.

2. I don't really know C. The mail says you don't necessarily have to. I could 
learn it if necessary though. So how bad would it be if I couldn't program in 
or understand C?

It would be nice if someone could answer them. Thanks!

Best regards
Aaron Junker

Subject: [PHP-DEV] PHP 8.2 Release Manager Selection

Hi all,

with the first alpha of PHP 8.2 due in 6 weeks (unless we are going to
change our usual schedule), I think it's time to start the process of
finding and electing release managers for the next minor release of PHP.

We are looking for two souls to take on this role.  Whomsoever is
elected will be guided and helped by the current, as well as previous
RMs and the excellent documentation in release-process.md[1].

Candidates should have a reasonable knowledge of internals (without
necessarily being a C guru), be confident about merging pull requests
without breaking backward compatibility, doing triage for bugs,
liaising with previous release managers, and generally getting the
branch in good shape, as these are among the activities you will be
undertaking as release manager.

Notably, at least one of the volunteers must be a "veteran" release
manager meaning they have participated in at least one release of PHP in
the past.  The other may be an additional veteran, or more ideally,
someone new to the RM role (in order to increase our supply of veteran RMs).

Please put your name forward here if you wish to be considered a
candidate.  An initial TODO page has been added to the wiki and contains
provisional dates for GA and pre-releases[2].

[PHP-DEV] PHP 8.2 Release Manager Selection

[Sergey Panteleev]

Hi all,

Lately I've been doing documentation for PHP, keeping the Russian version up to 
date, and helping a little with the English, German and French versions.

I would also like to contribute and help in other areas, such as newbie RM.

If possible, my hat is in the ring.
