After a few years as SM for 64 and 40, I would like to apply today to extend my area to the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.
This would allow me, firstly, to assist @guillaume017, @KinyoSat, and @Agapa-Yo in one of the largest regions in France.
Secondly, to try and support both new and experienced editors in the area by providing advice and a helping hand.
And if possible, to reach out to them via a “Region NA” role (for example) assigned to them in order to tag them and make them more visible on the Discord server (in the dedicated channel).
If you have any questions, please feel free to come and chat or ask me.
Thank you!
I can only support Zeu’s request. Likewise, after so many years of working alongside him, he is clearly an excellent editor and excels in many respects:
Passionate about Waze and map editing, Zeu has always remained in a process of continuous improvement, both in technical aspects and in interactions with other editors; he has known and continues to know how to stay within a virtuous circle of improvement and the search for quality—a virtuous circle for which he alone holds the secret.
Consistent in respecting editing rules and engaging in discussion to develop the best edits and offer the best guidance for Wazers, while being a proactive force in providing editing solutions.
Always engaging in constructive debate regarding Waze edits (as well as any other topic), exchanging ideas with intelligence and subtlety, constantly striving to help other editors progress and lifting them up whenever possible.
Similarly, Zeu interacts with other editors with kindness, openness, and a calming presence; his attitude has always been encouraging and rewarding for the editors around him; exchange regularly with Zeu, and you will inevitably grow from the experience at one point or another.
Available, efficient, and always ready to take the time to talk about editing, whether during informal meetings, at meetups, or simply in front of a screen through exchanges on various platforms (Discord, forum, etc.), not to mention moments of relaxation over a good draft beer (I have no doubt that other editors in the community can attest to this).
I might be getting ahead of myself (as a former mentor who accompanied him and witnessed his birth as an editor and his constant progression), yet I can state with certainty, without a shadow of a doubt and on a personal basis, that Zeu has even surpassed me in editing. I am even convinced and remain certain that the role of CM would suit Zeu much better, due to his numerous editing qualities, but also his excellent human relationships and exchanges.
I would even go as far as to state (if I may) that the community would grow stronger by Zeu attaining this role. Indeed, it would allow for an expanded area of action without limitations, and this would benefit all editors in France and all territories.
Thank you all for listening and for the interest you will take in this request for responsibility for Zeu.
It’s not easy following @Agapa-Yo, who perfectly described @zeu both in terms of editing and, most importantly, his human qualities. I agree 200% with what he wrote.
I won’t dwell on the quality of his edits, which I’m sure is already recognized within the community.
He is an asset to the Waze community because of the aura he radiates. Always showing kindness during heated discussions: I’ve always seen him take in the information, take a step back, and come back with solutions/guidance to untangle situations.
He has been like a second mentor to me (@Agapa-Yo remaining the official one ), and he knew how to understand me, remotivate me, and keep me hooked on editing during moments of doubt.
