>> Hello everyone,
>>
>> On behalf of the PMC, I’m happy to let you know that Ramin Gharib has
>> accepted the invitation to become a Flink Committer.
>>
>> Ramin has been a dedicated contributor to the Flink ecosystem over the past
>> two years. Based on the project statistics, Ramin has authored 89 PRs,
>> commented on 279 PRs, and worked on 6 FLIPs spanning key areas of Flink SQL:
>>
>> Materialized Tables (FLIP-546, FLIP-551, FLIP-557, FLIP-578): He has been a
>> driving force behind the evolution of Materialized Tables. He introduced a
>> single CREATE OR ALTER MATERIALIZED TABLE statement that creates a table or
>> evolves an existing one, made the FRESHNESS clause optional, gave users
>> granular control over data reprocessing when a table’s query changes, and
>> proposed in-place conversion of regular tables to Materialized Tables.
>>
>> VARIANT type hardening (FLIP-604): He added many improvements to make
>> VARIANT production ready: completed the primitive type coverage for VARIANT
>> by adding UUID and TIMESTAMP(3) types, fixing cast rules, adding built-in
>> functions. Overall many type system related improvements to the semantics of
>> Flink SQL.
>>
>> He also contributed to the new CHANGELOG PTFs and implemented the OBJECT_OF
>> and OBJECT_UPDATE built-in functions.
>>
>> Beyond his code contributions, Ramin represented Flink at Community Over
>> Code 2026 together with Sergey Nuyanzin, about “Enterprise-Grade Data
>> Pipelines: The Evolution of Flink Materialized Tables”.
>>
>> Please join me in congratulating Ramin for becoming an Apache Flink
>> committer!

>> Best,
>> Timo (on behalf of the Flink PMC)
