[Discussion] Looking to Provide Support - Request

[Segmentational]

Hello, hello

First, I want to personally thank everyone a part of the team for their time and contribution(s).

Overview

It seems that the project has been receiving some... weird and unjust heat, recently. While I am in belief that the project is incredibly stable at this time, I see pull requests that may have been lost due to timely responses.

I get it -- I can only imagine we're all busy with our actual day jobs, doing, well, the same thing we're doing here.

I've been looking for quite some to a larger project to contribute to; I was thinking about IBM's Carbon-Design-Framework, but ever since I've shifted away from FastAPI as a backend, to express, I'm definitely much more interested in this project.

Bottom-line: I'd like to better understand what express is currently experiencing the most issues/problems with, and help out :D

Background

The last three years I've been active 5-6 days a week contributing to various open source projects I created. Recently, I've since moved from my personal instance (GitLab*) to GitHub. I have no problem spinning that instance back up if anyone is interested in confirming, but the organization I house my projects nowadays is the following: https://github.com/cloud-hybrid

---

I'm looking forward to any and all feedback :D

Thanks for wanting to contribute! You could become a triager, follow the instructions here to request the role. It would be a great help to the project, thank you! 🚀

If you want to apply to become a triager, you can apply here. Best of luck!

Hey @Segmentational!

Thanks for your interest! Apart from being a triager as @import-brain mentioned, you could also coordinate with @nfantone who's been actively contributing and making progress towards Express 5 release.

[Segmentational]

Sweet thank you! definitely can do

[Segmentational]

Good morning!

I apologize for seemingly being inactive already; I've been traveling for re:invent, and will be much more active rather soon following this week.

Thanks again!

Not a problem at all. I have even reduced my activity at the moment as it is the holiday time in the US, with Thanksgiving just passing. At least for me, this year has a lot more family stuff going one due to last year being that first pandemic year 🙃

[Segmentational]

@dougwilson yeah... I feel you on that one haha

Certainly no rush, though! I wish you the best with your involvements, and sanity, as we move through the holidays 😃

[Segmentational]

@dougwilson, we can probably close this thread. While no where near respectable numbers, I've generally gotten the idea of how to contribute either directly here, or through other projects under your pillarjs organization!

Really nice job, too, with hammering out all the previous issues -- I hope you're doing well.
