Dear Airflow Community, The Apache Airflow Project Management Committee (PMC) has invited Pavan kumar Gopidesu to become a PMC member and we are excited to announce that he has accepted our invitation.
Pavan has been a committer for the past 2 years and has made significant contributions to the project, most notably in the CI/CD/Dev environment. This included contributing to the Apache Software Foundation, which made him an ASF member even before being Airflow PMC member :). Recently Pavan has been working on the AIP-99 Common Data Access Pattern + AI and this work is well underway. He actively spread the Airflow word at the Airflow Summit—and spoke in Seattle even if he could not attend the event due to visa issues. What a dedication! Here are the talks he gave—with Amogh, Kaxil, and me. * https://airflowsummit.org/sessions/2025/airflow-as-an-ai-agents-toolkit-unlocking-1000-integrations-with-mcp/ * https://airflowsummit.org/sessions/2025/the-secret-to-airflow-s-evergreen-build-ci-cd-magic/ The PMC is confident that he will continue to be a strong ambassador for Airflow with his new PMC hat on. For those unfamiliar, PMC members help manage and guide the overall direction of the project. Please join us in congratulating Pavan - welcome aboard! Best regards, Jarek
