[Internal][ELECTIONS] Secretary nominations needed!
Alessandro Lai
Vincent de Lau
Coming from a broad IT background, I became a full-time PHP developer almost 15 years ago. I'm currently working as a Solution Architect at a European telecom provider, where a large part of our business processes are using PHP. Although my day-to-day work doesn't involve a lot of programming work anymore, I still try to keep my PHP skills up to date and lurk on php.internals and PHP-FIG.
I'd like to give back to the community and I think that being a secretary for the PHP-FIG is a good way to facilitate and support the bright people that make up the FIG, for who I have a lot of respect. Although I do not have a lot of experience in such a role, I'm very much open to learn and gain experience.
As I understand it, the primary responsibility of the secretaries is to make sure the FIG's bylaws are followed and to be a neutral facilitator. I think that is a good role and I think some other projects could benefit from a similar structure. I think I can be impartial in such a role, although obviously I also have my own values and norms. I believe the PHP-FIG works best as an open community where everybody feels save to participate. Discussions may be fierce, as long as it is about the subject and there is mutual respect. Being a high profile project, I think the FIG has a responsibility to set stable and future proof standards, both technical and social.
Kind regards,
Vincent de Lau

Vincent, you'll need someone to nominate you if you still want to run in this election. Do you want to?
