On behalf of the PMC, I'm very happy to announce a new Apache Flink PMC Member - Sergey Nuyanzin.
Sergey has been a dedicated and invaluable contributor to the Flink community for several years. He became a committer in 2023 and has been one of the most active contributors, particularly in the areas of Flink SQL. Sergey has developed several key features and improvements in Flink SQL, including upgrades of Apache Calcite as well as other fixes for the interaction between Calcite and Flink. His work has significantly improved the usability and performance of Flink’s SQL engine. In addition to code contributions, he has also driven discussions on design improvements and actively reviewed many pull requests. Sergey helps tremendously with keeping the project healthy. He often helps with releases of connectors, flink-shaded and verifying Flink’s releases.Beyond development, Sergey is committed to fostering the Flink community. He regularly shares his opinions on the future and direction in which the project should go. Please join me in welcoming and congratulating Sergey! Best, Dawid Wysakowicz (on behalf of the Flink PMC)
