[Evolution-hackers] Evolution maintainership
Hello guys, This mail is to announce some of the role changes in the Evolution project. I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I feel that this is the best time to implement them. I am proud to announce Chenthill P (chen) as the new Evolution maintainer. He is a long time contributor to the Evolution project and has been working in the project for over 5 years. He is well known in the community for his expertise in Calendar component and has been its maintainer for the last 4 years. He has been one of the prime contributors for the Groupwise provider and Microsoft Exchange Calendar. A few of his notable contributions include libical integration with System timezone for better Daylight savings support, single-model-view design of Calendar MVC and removal of libical fork. He has mentored interns and GSOC students on Calendar search improvements, Microsoft Exchange Delegation support, Google Calendar integration etc. I am also proud to announce that Matthew Barnes (mbarnes) is joining Chenthill and support him as the Evolution co-maintainer. He has been contributing towards Evolution for over 3 years and is the Mail maintainer for the last 2 years. He has made significant contributions towards obsoleting several libraries, and helping to migrate to newer technologies. He has been working on Kill-Bonobo which is a major revamp of Evolution Shell. This involves rewriting Evolution components and UI which is a focus area for Evolution 3.0. Going forward, I will be focusing on improving evolution infrastructure for netbooks and other devices; chen and mbarnes would be driving the Evolution project direction and releases. Please join me in congratulating chen and mbarnes, and in wishing them good luck in their new roles. -Srini. ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

Big thanks to Srini and all the contributors/team members for the consistent and dedicated efforts for Evolution. I'm confident that the trio will better their predecessors in keeping Evolution as one of the best mailers around. :-) V.

Most of you already know Srini (as he is fondly referred to by the Evo folks) - having interacted with him on IRC, mail or in person during GUADEC 2006. He is one of our best and most energetic hackers. A few of his notable contributions include the Evolution Attachment Bar, the Vertical View for mails, integrating Evolution with the GNOME keyring and the GNOME VFS backend etc. He has also been prolific in building the student community in India as part of the Novell Open Source Internship Program and has mentored students on the Global search, Cairo integration, migration to gtk-print etc. He is also looking after the addressbook module in Evolution and GtkHTML and has been handling the release management partly during the last development series. Thanks Harish for this opportunity. I will do my very best to make Evolution a better enterprise quality groupware client. Srini is already busy seeding the Planning page for Evolution Two Twelve. Please join the discussions at http://www.go-evolution.org/Evo2.12. I welcome your suggestions. Please feel free to add your thoughts to the page.

The truth is, with more than 7 years of development behind it, it's one of the best mailers around. -- Hans Petter Passionate Evolution user ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
