Congratulations to all three new committers. These are very substantial
contributions and all three definitely have earned the
committership.
As I am only starting to try to help out with beam I wonder how hard it
is to become a committer.
If I see that Thomas Groh is the number 1 contributor for beam and only
now became committer I wonder
how the beam project intends to motivate people to try to also become
committers.
I personally work full time on open source but will only be able to
spare a part of my time for beam. Most people
probably only work part time on apache projects in general. So what is
the expectation of the beam project for aspiring committers?
Will it be possible for people working on beam in their spare time to
become committers?

Hi everyone,
Please join me and the rest of Beam PPMC in welcoming the following
contributors as our newest committers. They have significantly contributed
to the project in different ways, and we look forward to many more
contributions in the future.
* Thomas Weise
Thomas authored the Apache Apex runner for Beam [1]. This is an exciting
new runner that opens a new user base. It is a large contribution, which
starts the whole new component with a great potential.
* Jesse Anderson
Jesse has contributed significantly by promoting Beam. He has co-developed
a Beam tutorial and delivered it at a top big data conference. He published
several blog posts positioning Beam, Q&A with the Apache Beam team, and a
demo video how to run Beam on multiple runners [2]. On the side, he has
authored 7 pull requests and reported 6 JIRA issues.
* Thomas Groh
Since starting incubation, Thomas has contributed the most commits to the
project [3], a total of 226 commits, which is more than anybody else. He
has contributed broadly to the project, most significantly by developing
from scratch the DirectRunner that supports the full model semantics.
Additionally, he has contributed a new set of APIs for testing unbounded
pipelines. He published a blog highlighting this work.
Congratulations to all three! Welcome!
