Hi,
I'm ZhiYong(@hzy1919). I'm a software development engineer and I have been contributing to Substrate since May 2022.

My contributions :

• Add Event to Pallet Transaction Payment paritytech/substrate#11618
• Beefy: use VersionedFinalityProof instead of SignedCommitment paritytech/substrate#11962
• Remove discarded blocks and states from database by default paritytech/substrate#11983
• Add Event to Pallet Asset-Tx-Payment paritytech/substrate#11690
• Name the score of the election in election finalized event paritytech/substrate#12069
• Change weight template outputs to (x * constants::WEIGH_PER_NANOS)  paritytech/substrate#11233

I'm also a member of Substrate Evangelist Program(Launched by OneBlock and Parity).
I hope to apply for a rank of 1.

Hi @hzy1919, thanks for the application!

The Manifesto 2.4 Audience and Non-Goals states:

It focusses on the sustenance and enrichment of technical expertise relevant to the Polkadot network primarily concerning the core protocol and its implementation. While members may engage in a number of activities beyond immediate technical work (designing, programming, debugging), the goal of the organisation is nonetheless that of building technical knowledge for the protocol.

Pure research, general education, public outreach, developer recruitment, management and mentorship may be incidental activities of some members but it must be understood that these should not constitute the primary contributions for a member to receive recognition.

For now, we explicitly include expertise surrounding parachain consensus, cross-chain message passing (xcmp, hrmp, dmp & ump), consensus algorithms concerning the Relay-chain (babe & grandpa) and any cryptographic data-structures, languages and apis specific to Polkadot.

Secondly, we include the Polkadot node implementation including peer networking protocols, topology strategies, synchronisation strategies and the internals of complete node implementations.

Thirdly, we include the Polkadot business-logic (aka the “runtime”), including frame internals, runtime and host apis, pallets utilised by Polkadot and its system chains. Finally, we also cover expertise concerning xcm, grandpa-based bridges and standard RPCs.

If you believe you are a protocol expert and long-term active core developer, please provide details of your three earliest substantial PRs to a Polkadot core repository (Substrate, Polkadot, Cumulus) as well as a list of any significant design and development contributions to core code. The application seems to list good contributions, but not substantial enough to apply for a seat in the Fellowship, of course others might disagree (cc @bkchr @gavofyork @jacogr @andresilva).

I think that you already have done some good prs, but they are not yet really substantial. If you keep working on Substrate/Polkadot, you will be able to join in the foreseeable future. However, currently I don't think you are ready right now.

Well, thanks for your review @rrtti @bkchr . I'll keep making contributions to Substrate and Polkadot .
