Hi all, On a personal note: I'll not be seeking re-election as a Secretary. It has been a very valuable experience and I'm very happy I got the opportunity to serve as Secretary, but I would like to be more involved on the content and less on the process.
However, during my term I did experience the importance of having a group of active Secretaries to facilitate the various processes. The last two years have been quite active, with the PER process introduction and a couple of some new PSR's, and I hope we can keep this momentum going. I'd like to take the opportunity to urge people interested in contributing to the PHP-FIG to consider putting their name in the hat for the position of Secretary. If you have any question about the position and what it entails, feel free to reach out to any of the current Secretaries, for instance trough Discord (https://discord.gg/php-fig). Obviously, if you think someone else would be a good fit, please point them in our direction! Kind regards, Vincent de Lau PHP-FIG Secretary On Friday, May 12, 2023 at 1:19:21 PM UTC+2 Vincent de Lau wrote: > Hello everyone, > > Unfortunately a bit late starting the process, but it is election time > again!
