Bio

Who are you? What makes you special?

I am Max and sometimes called the Secretary of Offtopic (mainly by myself). I joined coala in early 2015 but real contributions started this year. I mainly work on coala by giving input on design questions and administrative tasks. But my biggest impact on coala probably was on the community work during the second GSoC coala participated in and my conference visits. From that time the title Secretary of Offtopic stems.
Besides of the community work I am interested in performance and research including coala.

coala Contributions so far

What contributions, coding or not, have you done to coala?

I made some code contributions that probably have a similar extend to our newcomer process.

My main contributions were being an admin for the 2016 GSoC and the community bonding work I did during that time (gaming evenings and group calls for discussions) as well as the pre-evaluation checkups on the mentors. This community work has, to a lesser extend, continued.
I also attended quite some conferences to represent coala.

And I wrote the teams cEP.

Road to the Future

How do you plan to take forward coala as a team leader of your team? What changes will you make happen

I want to have more bonding events over the year on a regular basis. Simple things like gaming evenings or community discussion evenings but also real world things like meetups, conferences, hackathons, sprints and put-too-many-coalians-in-an-airbnb-cook-for-them-and-let-them-code experiences.

I want these events to not only help coala development but also create a community that helps the individuals to grow on a professional and personal level.

@sims1253 do you plan to push talk participation by coala members?

[sims1253]

@sils yup. I will try to increase conference participation in general and when we have interesting GSoC projects (or in general cool stuff) I would love to enable members to present their awesome work to a wider audience.

@sims1253 will you push coala/cEPs#23 ?

[sims1253]

yup

Can one person be team leader for 2 teams?
If you are chosen to lead this team, will you relinguish the desire to lead the other team? 😀

[sils]

as per the current cEP I think we can have one person leading up to two teams

[sims1253]

I don't think I'll relinquish the desire to lead any team :D
They are different aspects and I like management and organizing stuff :)
