Tiles and something that Colorado Department of State calls
Rustts, gave
me the idea that has become known as the Shale "Clay" plug-in. I
was
invited to become a Struts Committer in July 2005.</p>
+
+ <h4 id="gvanmatre">Sean Schofield -- Committer</h4>
+
+ <p>During a job interview in 2002 I was asked if I had any
experience with
+ Struts. I told the interviewer that I had never heard of it.
That night
+ when I got home I set out to figure out what Struts was all about.
It
+ turns out I already knew it (sort of.) I had been spending a lot
of time
+ researching design patterns and I was working with my own custom
framework
+ that combined several patterns that I thought worked well
together.</p>
+
+ <p>I then realized that I wasn't the only one trying to improve
the way in
+ which complex web applications were being designed. Of course, as
with all
+ open source projects, the result of several minds working together
is superior
+ to that of a single mind working alone. I quickly abandoned my
custom
+ framework in favor of Struts. A few years later I was the one
interviewing
+ people asking them if they knew Struts!</p>
+
+ <p>Struts was also the beginning of my serious interest in open
source. Like
+ many other committers I started out as a user, then became a
participant on
+ the mailing lists, then started reporting bugs, then started
patching bugs and
+ finally started proposing and supplying new features. The Struts
community
+ was an invaluable resource for me, especially when it came to
getting advice on
+ tricky design issues.</p>
+
+ <p>In October 2005 I was invited to become a Struts Committer. I
have also been
+ involved in a few other open source projects including
commons-lang and
+ commons-chain. I am also a PMC member of the MyFaces project
where I spend
+ most of my free time these days. My current interest in Struts
lies with the
+ Shale subproject.</p>
