Hi Reinhard, all, in one word, I really feel touched. All these positives votes let me without words... I couldn't receive any better present for Christmas, really!!! Reinhard, Joerg, David, Leszek, Peter, Felix, Thorsten, Sylvain, David, Steven, Ralph, Vadim: THANK YOU, it's incredible the trust you're giving to me, I hope I'll never disappoint you.
About myself: I'm Italian, born and grown up in L'Aquila, a small medieval city recently destroyed by the earthquake, and moved to Rome at age of 24 after my B.Sc. graduation in Computer Science. I experienced GIS, spent a lot of time on Shortest Path Algorithms, REST services and since February 2007 I've been working as a software engineer in Asemantics, a small company which focuses on new emerging technologies/specifications, such OpenID, OAuth, PortableContacts and the Semantic Web. I joined the Cocoon ML since September 2008 after read an old Reinhard's post[1] on his blog which charmed me: first I contacted him privately, so I was invited to join the ML then been in touch also with Steven... and every passing day I found the Cocoon3 idea so brilliant that I couldn't resist to contribute!!! I also play a lot writing my small reusable components[2] that help me avoiding repeating myself in my everyday work :P I'm used and love working in heterogeneous environments: at age of 22 I moved to Portugal for 6 months because of the Erasmus Project, I participated in the Joost[3] backend development and since April 2009 I've been working on the Goom Radio[4] backend development; last, I married a South-American woman, so every passing day of my life I have to find the right compromises between different idioms and cultures :D I accept very proudly my nomination, I already signed the ICLA because last month I submitted a donation to the Apache Commons community and they required it, and Rahul Akolkar confirmed it was registered. My preferred id is simone.tripodi, and my forwarding email address is simone[dot]tripodi[at]gmail[dot]com. Thank you guys, the 2009 has been very difficult for me after the earthquake, my parents still don't have their own home (you can see the effects here[5]) so this Christmas will be better thanks to this amazing news :) Best regards, take care!!! Simone Tripodi Margin Note: in all European countries the name "Simone" is for girls, except here in Italy; during the Erasmus I take part of a football tournament, it was very funny looking amazed people's faces because they expected looking a girl playing... :D [1] http://www.indoqa.com/en/people/reinhard.poetz/blog/610 [2] http://code.google.com/u/simone.tripodi [3] http://www.joost.com/ [4] http://www.goomradio.com/ [5] http://picasaweb.google.com/simone.tripodi/TheEarthquakeDesrtroyedMyParentsHouse On Mon, Dec 21, 2009 at 3:33 PM, Reinhard Pötz <reinh...@apache.org> wrote: > Reinhard Pötz wrote: >> I propose Simone Tripodi as a new Cocoon committer and PMC member. >> >> Simone has been participating on our mailing lists since Sept 2008. >> Recently he provided an extensive patch that adds XInclude support to >> Cocoon 3.
