CTC membership nomination: @TheAlphaNerd

[jasnell]

A majority of CTC members would like to propose adding @thealphanerd (Myles Borins) to join as a voting member of the CTC. Myles has been the primary driving force behind the management of our LTS branches; is the 7th most active contributor to core over the past 6 months; is the maintainer of our Canary in the Goldmine (CITGM) tool; and has generally added value to nearly every aspect of core.

This is a public nomination process, if there are objections from @nodejs/collaborators to this nomination then feel free to speak up, although it may be more sensitive to do so in private by emailing a member of the CTC you are comfortable with.

Equally, we understand that there are other @nodejs/collaborators who work very hard and contribute a great deal of value to the project and we would like to continue to evolve the CTC to ensure it is representative of the majority of technical effort put in to Node and has a diverse enough base of opinions, perspective and technical skill areas to be able to make effective decisions regarding the future of Node. Therefore, even though we continue to assess and discuss additional candidates, we welcome input from collaborators on this process, if you think there are individuals that are making significant technical contribution who would add new perspectives or skills to the CTC please contact a CTC member that you are comfortable with to discuss it further. The CTC should not be a static group and should be both adding and shedding (we're currently discussing this side of the process fwiw) members to ensure its relevance.

@thealphanerd has been participating in CTC calls for a couple of weeks now as an observer. After speaking with Myles briefly offline, he has gladly accepted the nomination. According to the next step in the process, there would be formal CTC vote.

I'm super honored and flush in the face.

Thank you CTC for the nomination and @jasnell for the wonderful write up.

If anyone has any questions at all for me please feel free to reach out to me in this thread or privately via twitter dm or email.

LGTM here just in case I don't make it to the meeting with the vote. I'm hoping to but am at Node.live in Boston so may be touch and go.
