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>

+ <h4 id="gvanmatre">Sean Schofield -- Committer</h4>
+
+ <p>During a job interview in 2002 I was asked if I had any experience with
+ Struts. I told the interviewer that I had never heard of it. That night
+ when I got home I set out to figure out what Struts was all about. It
+ turns out I already knew it (sort of.) I had been spending a lot of time
+ researching design patterns and I was working with my own custom framework
+ that combined several patterns that I thought worked well together.</p>
+
+ <p>I then realized that I wasn't the only one trying to improve the way in
+ which complex web applications were being designed. Of course, as with all
+ open source projects, the result of several minds working together is superior
+ to that of a single mind working alone. I quickly abandoned my custom
+ framework in favor of Struts. A few years later I was the one interviewing
+ people asking them if they knew Struts!</p>
+
+ <p>Struts was also the beginning of my serious interest in open source. Like
+ many other committers I started out as a user, then became a participant on
+ the mailing lists, then started reporting bugs, then started patching bugs and
+ finally started proposing and supplying new features. The Struts community
+ was an invaluable resource for me, especially when it came to getting advice on
+ tricky design issues.</p>
+
+ <p>In October 2005 I was invited to become a Struts Committer. I have also been
+ involved in a few other open source projects including commons-lang and
+ commons-chain. I am also a PMC member of the MyFaces project where I spend
+ most of my free time these days. My current interest in Struts lies with the
+ Shale subproject.</p>

It's fixed (along with the annoucement that was missing your name)
though I haven't re-published the site since.

You might want to consider adjusting the "id" value, lest you fall prey to
schizophrenic tendencies :-)
