Hey folks,

Would any body like to replace me as the FIG rep, or nominate a replacement?

Kind regards
Chris

I feel silly asking, but in case I'm not the only one:
 
FIG rep

What's that?

The PHP framework interoperability group.


They are the source of the PSR's

How come you're leaving Chris, I feel like you've done a good job. You've even managed to keep clear of all of the internal kerfuffles that have been happening in FIG for the last couple of months.

Oh, that FIG. I'm familiar with PHP-FIG and the fruit, too :D Didn't realize they had reps! Missing context there, sorry.

It's my fault for not giving more context.

I was actually wondering the same and hoping for Chris to secretly appear at the office so I could ask.

Could you explain a bit on what it actually means to be the rep on PHP-FIG?

It means being involved in conversations over on the FIG mailing list, and representing the interests of the SilverStripe community in votes.

I wouldn't mind, but I do not see myself as a suitable person for such a role.

Hi Chris, apologies for not responding to this in a timely fashion.

I would like to put myself forward as a substitute representative. While I feel there is also a necessity for us to pick a new member, I also have a personal desire to further my contribution to open source, so I would enjoy picking up the mantle.

The expectation is that I would continue to act as a representative for the core team, so I will not be acting independently in this position.

Thanks Chris for your hard work and for representing us so well up until now!

How do others feel about this?

Kind regards,

Damian @tractorcow

It might be an idea to do this with Simon.  Damian is already a key person in Silverstripe and by getting Simon on the FIG team, Damian's workload will not increase as much, and the knowledge gained will be shared more widely.

Do you mean Simon Erkelens, Nicolaas? He's already said he didn't see himself as suitable. I'd be willing to take this role on, but Damian is keen (whereas I desire the outcome of participating in the PHP-FIG but would prefer not to have to do the work to get it :).

+1 for Damian from me too.

Thanks for offering, Damian.

Could I suggest you replace me as acting representative, and that the core team has a vote to convert the role from acting to permanent or to elect someone else (if you decide it's not for you)?

Given the proposed changes to the structure of FIG, it's going to require far less work from you. :)

​yeah - to me that sounded like Simon is interested, but he was not sure if he had the right knowledge / skills.  May be the selected person could contact Simon directly to work out how he can be involved.  He may not be the right person now, but he may be the suitable replacement when Damian gets snapped up by Facebook / Google / [who ever] ;-) in a few years?

Hey Nicolaas,

No I meant not suitable as in, not the right person. Not in skill/knowledge, but in personality :)

I follow the FIG google group and I do not envy having to be part of it. I think you will represent us well Damian :)

Good luck.

+1 damian, though he's already been accepted by FIG so a bit late!
