The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Forrest
has asked Jeremias Maerki to become a committer and
member of the PMC, and we are pleased to announce that
he has accepted.

Jeremias has been around Forrest for some time and has helped a great deal in improving our support of PDF generation. As a committer on the FOP project he is better placed than most of us to track changes with FOP and we hope that his committership here will make it easier for him to ensure Forrest correctly renders the FOP test documents and thus correctly renders all Forrest content in PDF form.

Being a committer enables easier contribution to the
project since there is no need to go via the patch
submission process. This should enable better productivity.
Being a PMC member enables assistance with the management
and to guide the direction of the project.

Welcome Jeremias.

Ross Gardler
(on behalf of the Forrest PMC)
