Evening all, With the first alpha of 7.2 due in early June, we 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 Davey and I, until they are comfortable, or correcting Davey and I, whichever comes first. 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. Please put your name forward here if you wish to be considered a candidate. Cheers Joe

I keep meaning to have a go at this, and with such inspiring mentors at the ready, there's really no better time than now. -Sara

As a reminder, this thread is just for folks to throw their hat in the ring. There will be a formal vote on the wiki to pick the actual RM (assuming anyone else volunteers!). - Davey P.S. +1 ;) On Thu, Mar 30, 2017 at 10:34 AM, Christoph M. Becker <cmbecker69@gmx.de> wrote:

After some time thinking about this, I choose to apply to the PHP 7.2 RM role. Remi.

Thanks Remi! As the Release Process RFC requires two RMs[1], are you and Sara willing to collaborate as a team for 7.2? If not, you will each have to find a second team-mate :) - Davey [1] https://wiki.php.net/rfc/releaseprocess#release_managers_selection On Thu, Apr 6, 2017 at 9:44 PM, Remi Collet <remi@fedoraproject.org> wrote:

+1 for both of you, and personally I prefer to have 2 new RMs in addition to the previous RM(s) mentoring.

Afternoon Patrick, Are you volunteering ? It's been two weeks today since I asked for volunteers, and since I don't plan on dragging anyone through the isles kicking and screaming, the call to action will close today. What happens next depends on what Patrick meant in his last communication. Cheers Joe On Mon, Apr 10, 2017 at 10:39 PM, Patrick ALLAERT <patrickallaert@php.net> wrote:

Hi Joe, I propose to volunteer for next release since I would myself vote +1 for Sara & Remi. Cheers, Patrick Le mar. 11 avr. 2017 à 13:41, Joe Watkins <pthreads@pthreads.org> a écrit :

Evening internals, Since we have our two volunteers, there would appear to be no point in holding a vote. We should move forward now with Sara and Remi as the release managers for 7.2. Let me be the first to congratulate them: congrats you two. Shoot Davey and I an email with your contact information, skype, gmail, whatever you like for communications. Thanks everyone for the +1s, and other input. Cheers Joe On Tue, Apr 11, 2017 at 1:02 PM, Patrick ALLAERT <patrickallaert@php.net> wrote:
