+1 I seem to have worn quite a few hats over the years... Apache-wise, I [1] was elected a Member [2] of the Apache Software Foundation in 2005, elected to the IPMC [3] in 2006 and served on the Legal Affairs committee [4] from 2007 till 2010. Code-wise [5], in the crazy early days at Jakarta [6] I spent a lot of time in the Commons [7] community factoring out micro-libraries. Latterly, over in the community at James [8] we factored out a series of components from a monolithic code base and grew a vibrant community around them. A particular interest was creating a working IMAP library. I'm to blame for too much of the process, build and release documentation Apache inflicts on it's projects and podlings. I have interests in community building. I'm recovering from an injury ATM and have only limited computer time, and too many existing interests for the time I have. But I think I might be able to help the community over the initial build, release and licensing issues, with factoring out components and the general culture shock. I'm (very) independent ;-) Robert [1] http://robertburrelldonkin.name [2] http://www.apache.org/foundation/members [3] http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Incubator+Project+Management+Committee+%28PMC%29 [4] http://www.apache.org/legal/ [5] https://www.ohloh.net/accounts/robertburrelldonkin [6] http://jakarta.apache.org/ [7] Now at http://commons.apache.org [8] http://james.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
