[Hotstorage-chairs] Interest in Serving as a PC Reviewer — HotStorage 2026 (AWS Cloud Storage & Distributed Systems)

[Manojit Saha Sardar]

Dear Young-ri and Bryan,

I hope you're doing well. I wanted to briefly follow up on my note from a
couple of weeks ago expressing interest in serving as a program committee
reviewer for HotStorage 2026.

I understand you have a busy schedule, so no pressure at all — just wanted
to make sure my message reached you and to reiterate my continued interest
in contributing.

Thank you for your time, and please let me know if there's any additional
information I can provide.

Best regards,
Manojit Saha Sardar
Database Engineer III, Amazon Web Services
