Marshall has been an amazing contributor to UIMA for at least 15 years. UIMA v3, the multiple compressed CAS serialization methods, the indexing system redesign, his many other performance optimizations and bug fixes represent almost all of the contributions to the UIMA core in this time period. Perhaps most of all, Marshall was always responsive to the UIMA community and to the Apache Software Foundation.
Richard has also been a strong contributor to the UIMA project for the past few years. His innovative work on UIMA-fit has benefitted many users as well as influencing changes to core UIMA. Richard has demonstrated support for all aspects of the UIMA project beyond the core. Both project and community are quite fortunate that he is willing to take on the PMCC leadership role.
