I nominate:

@gammarat - great recent write-up on genetic algorithms, has a lot of smart thoughts and ideas, would love to hear them more and more often
@nyuton - not highly active recently (maybe because there is still no incentive for high quality data science posts? :sweat_smile:), but I really liked older model ideas and project initiatives
@surajp - can’t nominate an elder, sorry, but since this comment has transformed into a shoutouts post: love following your work on transformers, would love to read more on that. Also, I have yet to look into your signals work but kudos on that too! :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks @numerologist, but I’m too old and erratic to contribute much on a regular basis…

Hey fam, thanks again for the nomination (this is the third time IIRC). I accept my nomination :pray:

At the same time, I would also like to nominate Peter (@studym8) who has been organizing local community events (even before we visited Toronto) and creating educational content (e.g. YouTube videos & NumerWki).

Regardless of the election results, I will continue to work on community events and tools like my dashboard.

I am honored to see my name here, but I have to respectfully decline. Too busy with other things now, I would not be able to promise the sufficient amount of time and effort I could allocate to this.

Thanks for the nomination, but I would like to respectfully decline due to conflict of interest and other commitments.

Thanks for the nomination!
I can’t accept it. I unstaked recently and I’m watching events from the sidelines…

Thanks for the nomination. I respectfully decline. I won’t have time to do it justice and I think there are many others who I think would do a much better job. Cheers.
