I'm not sure I qualify to vote, but I will say that Jen is a fantastic developer and community member, and in my mind would make an exceptional addition to the steering committee.

uPortal developers,

I'd like to nominate Jen Bourey as a uPortal developer representative to the uPortal Steering Committee.

I believe Jen needs no introduction to the community of uPortal committers, but I'd nonetheless take a moment to remind of her recent and ongoing contributions to uPortal.

Ohloh credits Jen with more than 200 commits to the uPortal codebase (which feels awfully low, in part because Jen has been a leader or major contributor to several Jasig portlet projects, including the Calendar portlet, the Feedback portlet, and the Tabbed Search portlet). Jen has given several popular Jasig conference presentations about uPortal, including on JavaScript in uPortal 3, on using AJAX to improve the user experience, on uPortal 3 configuration and deployment automation, and on open source portlet incubation.

Jen regularly posts to this developer email list and has answered many questions on the uportal-user@ email list. She is also regularly available and active in the uPortal IRC channel.

In short, I believe Jen is eminently qualified to represent uPortal developers on the uPortal project steering committee and I would expect she would bring enthusiasm, technical competence, and particularly attention to continuing to grow the set of portlets and the quality of the user experience in uPortal.

With many thanks to Jen for all her contributions to uPortal,

Andrew
