The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Forrest has asked Ferdinand Soethe to become a committer and a member of the PMC and he has accepted.
Ferdinand has provided various documentation-related patches, and is generally keen to help with documentation. We have seen various bug reports and improvement suggestions nicely described in Jira, as well as some xsl patches and DTD enhancements. His contribution to the development discussion is very helpful, and not only in the documentation area. He has generally demonstrated commitment to the project. Being a committer enables him to more easily make changes and so not need to go via the patch submission process. This should enable better productivity. Being a PMC member enables him to assist with the management and to guide the direction of the project. Welcome to Ferdinand. --David
