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 > On 7 Jan 2020, at 19:52, Daniel Dekany <[email protected]> wrote: > > The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache FreeMarker > has invited Siegfried Goeschl to become a committer, and we are > pleased to announce that he has accepted. > > Siegfried Goeschl was around our community for a good while, sometimes > participating on the mailing list, sometimes sharing his FreeMarker related > projects and knowledge elsewhere.

This should enable better productivity.
