Dear all, The Project Management Committee (PMC) of Apache Storm is happy to share that Gianluca has been invited to join us as a committer and we are even happier to announce that he has accepted.
In German there is a word I like a lot: Handwerk. It translates as "craft," but it carries more weight than the English word - it implies a trade you learn over years, with care, under the eyes of others who have done it before you. Open source, when it is healthy, has the same shape. You don't graduate from it; you keep getting better, and the project gets better with you. Gianluca has been doing exactly that kind of patient, careful work on a project in maintainance mode. His contributions embody the Apache Way, and we are lucky to have him stay. So, in my simple but heartfelt "germenglish": thank you, Gianluca. We are grateful you accepted. As a committer you'll now be able to contribute more seamlessly, and I'm looking forward to what comes next. Let's join together in welcoming and thanking Gianluca Graziadei. Gruß Richard
