Hello All, Do to my unfortunate travel schedule, I've only been able to keep up with Mohammad but I do see the great progress we've made due to both of their commitments. I have gone through the mailing list and Jira today to look over Rick's involvement and I have no problem giving them both a +1.
Mohammad: +1 Rick: +1 Great work guys. Take care, Jeremy On 10/23/06, David Blevins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello OpenEJBers, We've had a couple people doing some great work who I think are "over the hump" and have shown some great mailing list, jira, and coding stills. Rick McGuire has done some outstanding work on CORBA. CORBA is Rick's baby now. He's always been a strong coder, but most recently he's shown some great skills discussing his OpenEJB changes on the openejb-dev list and using the OpenEJB Jira. It's very hard to demonstrate collaborative development skills on something that few people are interested in (CORBA), but Rick's done a great job with that challenge by posting to the list and giving people the opportunity to participate in the fun. I think he'd make an excellent addition to the OpenEJB family. My +1 for Rick! Mohammad Nour El-Din has impressed me greatly. He started out super excited (and still is) and absolutely determined to contribute. I've seen a lot of people like that over the years never seem to reach the point of getting that fist patch. Mohammad never gave up, stayed positive and finally got over that hump. He's been a steady source of contributions since then. He's contributed quite a bit on the itests for EJB 3.0, which is something we need greatly. I'm sure he'll continue to impress us with his growth and dedication and I think we're lucky to have him in the OpenEJB family. My +1 for Mohammad! I think these two have each had their own challenges and overcome them and continue to improve all the time. I've certainly made a conscious effort to help them be better contributors. If you feel they are not yet ready in some way, that is completely ok; these are good guys and they'll listen to your feedback. If that's the case, I encourage you to reach your hand out and help them over the hump, cause that's the kind of family we are. Very best regards, David Blevins
