I would like to nominate the following four people:

1. Mahmoud N: Node pool variables and autoscaling (Google)
2. Roberto Lopez: The jx-git-operator upgrade and various other contributions. (AWS)
3. James Skeoch: Tekton pipeline migration (Lighthouse)
4. Tom Hobson: Removing kuberhealthy from the default install options, Tekton upgrade, and various other contributions. (Azure/Google)

If I can only submit one candidate I would have to go with Tom Hobson.

@tgelpi You could nominate several persons. But since voting is made by reacting to a nomination comment you can only nominate one person in each comment. So I assume that the comment you made counts as a nomination for Tom.
