I propose Antonio Gallardo and Tony Collen to be Cocoon committers.
They have both been contributing lots of stuff and discussion on both cocoon-dev and cocoon-users since mid-2002.
+1 for both -- welcome!
I'd just like to thank everybody for the votes, and especially David for the proposal. I was very surprised, pleased, humbled, and of course honored when I learned of David's plot to nominate me (And Antonio, welcome!) for committership. Truly a surprise.
Anyway, if you're curious, I have a mini-bio up at http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=TonyCollen which has lived there for a while. I'd just like to add a little history, too.
I originally joined the mailing lists as a result of a project at my old job, where one of the architects had suggested we use Cocoon for the frontend. It was a funny coincidence, because I had been exploring different technologies after being big into the PHP development side of things, and had somehow gravitated towards Cocoon. I lurked for quite a bit, but eventually I warmed up to posting regularly on the list -- it makes me wonder how many lurkers we have on this list :)
In the past 9 months or so, circumstances had changed, and so did my job. I was heartbroken to learn that just as my skills in Cocoon were needed, I had to change jobs. Fortunately, the Cocooon community is always here regardless of what my job is, which is why I love contributing.
Regards, Tony
