Hi folks,

thanks for inviting me to become an Apache FreeMarker committer - a few about 
words about me ...

* Living in Vienna / Austria
* Started my ASF career in 2004 by becoming an Apache Turbine Committer 
(Java-based web framework based on Velocity)
* Worked mainly on Apache Turbine & Apache Commons
* A few additional appearances in Apache WebServices, Apache JSPWiki & Apache 
Isis
* Started the Java User Group Austria in 2001 which morphed into Java Meetup 
Vienna (still being a co-organizer)

I started to use Apache FreeMarker a couple of years ago when being frustrated 
with the lack of development of Apache Velocity

* Mostly on the command line (freemarker-cli) to generate test data, 
documentation and transform files
* Implemented a few Spring Boot applications using Apache FreeMarker

Thanks in advance, 

Siegfried Goeschl
