The PPMC for Apache HAWQ (incubating) has asked Kavinder Dhaliwal to become a committer and we are pleased to announce that he has accepted.
We'd hope in this way it's going to enable easier contribution from him to the project and better productivity. Please join us in congratulating him and we are looking forward to collaborating with him in the open source community. -Goden *** Here is some details about his contribution so far *** His contribution includes (but not limited to): - *Direct contribution to code base*: 9 closed PRs: https://github.com/apache/incubator-hawq/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+user%3Akavinderd+author%3Akavinderd , these are relatively smaller PRs but demonstrate the variety of knowledge from data type to security token handling inside HAWQ and drew a lot of discussion among committers. 1 open PR: https://github.com/apache/incubator-hawq/pulls?q=is%3Apr+user%3Akavinderd+author%3Akavinderd+is%3Aclosed - *Indirect** contribution(Code Reviews) to code base: * https://github.com/apache/incubator-hawq/pull/854 https://github.com/apache/incubator-hawq/pull/853 https://github.com/apache/incubator-hawq/pull/837 https://github.com/apache/incubator-hawq/pull/820 (in this one, he gave peer contributors detailed guide and feedback for PR) https://github.com/apache/incubator-hawq/pull/848 https://github.com/apache/incubator-hawq/pull/821 - *Mailing List:* http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-hawq-dev/201607.mbox/browser Based on my counting, he had 4 emails in June, 8 in July and 2 in Aug so far.
