Hi, I am pleased to announce that the Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Flex has invited Darrell Loverin to become a committer and he has accepted.
Darrell provided several key patches to the Falcon compiler over the past few weeks. Darrell was a member of Adobe's ASC 2.0 team and therefore has a better understanding of the Falcon code base than just about any other committer. Before that he spent nearly 6 years on the Flex team, helping to create the cross-versioning feature known as the Marshall Plan and implementing the signed RSL feature, style modules, improving embedded font handling and more. He therefore is familiar with ActionScript and the MXMLC code base as well. Darrell and I first worked together in the late 1980's at Wang Laboratories on a product called Freestyle. We both were at Lotus/IBM at the same time for a while, Darrell on Lotus Notes while I worked on various other products including cc:Mail. And after I joined Macromedia to work on Flex, I encouraged Darrell to join me. Welcome Darrell! Alex Harui Apache Flex PMC Chair
