Hello,

I’d like to re-nominate myself to be on the Core Libraries Committee.

My interest in being on the committee is focused around being able to act
on issues as they appear on committee managed repositories as well as being
involved in the discussions around changes to the committee managed
libraries.

I can help represent industrial users though my experience working at
Galois as well as as the larger hobbyist community through my personal
programming experience and online community involvement.

My current seat on the committee was set to expire already, but it was
never specifically replaced with anyone new. I’d like to renew it at this
point.

Best regards,

Eric Mertens
