Hi,
Better a bit late than never. Sorry about that Randall, here is the official welcome message!
Please welcome Randall Hauch as a new committer and PMC member of the Apache Jackrabbit project. The Jackrabbit PMC recently decided to offer Randall committership based on his contributions. I'm happy to announce that he accepted the offer and that all the related administrative work has now been taken care of. Welcome to the team, Randall! Michael
