welcome new committers

["Roy T. Fielding" <fi...@gbiv.com>]

The current Jackrabbit committers have decided to give commit
rights to Serge Huber, Felix Meschberger, Brian Moseley, and
Angela Schreiber in recognition of their outstanding and
sustained contributions to the Apache Jackrabbit project.
Congratulations are in order!

Serge, Felix, and Angela already have their CLAs on file,
so their accounts are ready and they can commit their own
changes from now on (woohoo!).  Brian's account will be
enabled as soon as Jim (or one of the other ASF officers
records his CLA).

Cheers,

....Roy

Ok, let's see... I work for Day on the Communiqué CMS. You can find more 
information on Communiqué at 
http://www.day.com/site/en/index/products/content-centric_applications/overview.html. 
Lately I implemented an API conversion layer to implement the Communiqué 
ContentBus API. The ContentBus is the Communiqué content store and as 
such is the ancestor of JCR. While doing that I made use of Jukka's RMI 
Layer and started building an Eclipse plugin to access the repository.

I'm looking forward to contributing more to the RMI subproject as well 
as others.

Thanks for the invitation.

Cheers
Felix

ok then :)

i work for the Open Source Applications Foundation (OSAF) on our Cosmo 
project, an open source sharing server that uses Jackrabbit as its data 
store and the jcr-server subproject to provide WebDAV and CalDAV access 
to the server. you can find more info on Cosmo at 
<http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Projects/CosmoHome>.

i'm looking forward to working with Angela on jcr-server and potentially 
  on other parts of Jackrabbit as well. for example, i've got simple 
homebrewed tools for namespace and nodetype registration and data import 
(and soon a maven plugin wrapper) that might be of interest.

thanks for the invite!

Hi all,

Well I must say I am very proud to become a member of the committers of 
this project.

As for myself, I had been evaluating Jackrabbit in the beginning of this 
year because I was interested in new repository technologies. I took the 
plunge immediately and got familiar with the code by implementing the 
ORM back-end implementation. Doing this allowed me to get a feel for the 
project, and I hope to be able to work with it more and more.

I am the CTO of a vendor of an integrated CMS and Portal, Jahia 
(http://www.jahia.org), which tries to contribute some time to open 
source projects, but of course when times permits. I am also a little 
involved in the Jetspeed 2 project, but mostly as a user of the 
technology (contributed Torque-based schema generation and mandated one 
of the Jetspeed devs to help integrate J2 with our product).

My main development focuses are right now clustering, scalability and 
performance. For the moment I am very involved in my commercial work, 
but I hope to be able to unlock some more time for Jackrabbit in the 
near future, although I am also in the middle of a move to a new 
apartment and I also do a little sound engineering for a local amateur 
musical group (of which btw Tim Berners-Lee was a member when he was 
living in Geneva :) (http://www.gaos.ch).

Here are a few areas of work I'd like to help with on Jackrabbit :
- clean up and extend ORM implementation
- see what happens with the extensions in the new JSR
- get to work on clustering setup and testing

Ok maybe that was a little too detailed :)

cheers,
  Serge...

Welcome!
