As you all know, Mark Boyd and Jan Nielsen have recently left SunGard Higher Education. Both are excellent engineers and will be missed. I sincerely wish them well in their new companies.
The loss of these two resources required us to readjust various projects here in-house creating periods of pause in our open source activities. We are working on replacing both engineers as soon as possible and have leveraged Craig Riddle's uPortal experience in the meantime. Craig has worked with the uPortal code during the past several years and has made significant contributions to improving the quality of the Luminis Platform product. He has some defect fixes that would be appropriate to contribute back to open source. I would like to request he be given committer rights. Craig will continue to work on reducing our defect backlog over the next while and undoubtedly he will have further fixes to contribute back to the community. He received DLM training from Mark Boyd at the recent JA-SIG conference and has made some enhancements to DLM that were requested by our customers. Craig will also be attending the upcoming Developers' meetings and will continue to improve the code in a maintenance role.
