I hereby nominate Omair Majid for the position of OpenJDK 8 reviewer.

Omair has been working on OpenJDK since his internship at Red Hat in May 2008, and has continued doing so after obtaining full-time employment in June 2010. In this time, he has committed many changesets to OpenJDK (the commit logs for the OpenJDK 8 tree show 24) and innumerable ones to the IcedTea [1] and IcedTea-Web [2] projects. He's also reviewed many patches for other developers and contributed patches at the level of GNU/Linux distribution packaging. Recently, he has been hard at work on making the OpenJDK 8 build amenable to GNU/Linux distributions, resulting in three approved changesets in the last month alone. I feel his skills as a reviewer would be very beneficial in this area as he has much experience in working with build systems via IcedTea, and is familiar with issues which apply to our builds but not to those of Oracle. Votes are due by Apr 22, 2013, 21:00 UTC. Only current OpenJDK 8 reviewers [3] are eligible to vote on this nomination. For Lazy Consensus voting instructions, see [4].
