Ithaca NY, Boston MA With pride in the community participation that powers open source repository platform development, DuraSpace and the Fedora Commons Repository Project are pleased to announce that Kai Strnad will serve as Community Release Manager for the upcoming release of Fedora Repository 3.3.

Kai is a Software Engineer with FIZ Karlsruhe, and has been a member of the eSciDoc (https://www.escidoc.org/) Team since early 2008. His current roles include performance and scalability, eSciDoc core framework, development and other eSciDoc and Fedora-related projects.

Non-profit organizations dedicated to open source development depend on community contributions both from individuals and the organizations that support them. The willingness of skilled community members like Kai Stnad and others to participate in the overall direction and details of delivering an integrated platform upgrade is appreciated by all who benefit from the improvements. Eric S. Raymond, a long-time open source analyst, observed in his 1997 essay “The Cathedral and the Bazaar,” that programmers who freely share their code drive Internet culture and innovation because their contributions allow open source software to undergo constant improvement by users and developers.
