asking questions on the user list naturally transformed into
answering them, which I've been doing ever since. I accepted an
invitation to become a Struts Committer in June, 2005.</p>

+ <h4 id="gvanmatre">Gary VanMatre -- Committer</h4>
+
+ <p>I landed an internship in college working with the big blue iron where
+ I dappled in the craft of VSE COBOL and JCL. Through the 90's, I worked my
+ way into several client-server technologies (Visual Basic, PowerBuilder and Delphi)
+ and finally thought that I had learned the last programming language I
+ would ever need to know, Forté Transactional Object Oriented language (TOOL).</p>
+
+ <p>I rode the Forté wave for several years and suddenly found myself
+ looking for work and feeling like a real "tool". An empty, dust free
+ self was just the right size for the proprietary distributed object
+ solution once called Forté.</p>
+
+ <p>In 2002, is when I found Java. While working a VB assignment,
+ I decided the only hope I had of getting a competitive edge was to
+ become a Sun Certified Java Programmer. With that card, I found an
+ opportunity to become a Struts developer and began lurking about the
+ Struts mailing lists in 2003.</p>
+
+ <p>In late 2004, I started hearing a buzz about a new Struts subproject
+ and became very interested in the ideas. I also began acquiring a stack
+ of JSF books matching my Struts collection. My experience with Struts,
+ Tiles and something that Colorado Department of State calls Rustts, gave
+ me the idea that has become known as the Shale "Clay" plug-in. I was
+ invited to become a Struts Committer in July 2005.</p>
