Hi all, The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache PredictionIO (incubating) has asked Takako Shimamoto to become a PMC member and committer, and we are pleased to announce that she has accepted.
She has made major contributions to the PredictionIO 0.11.0 release by adding Elasticsearch 5 support. This shows solid understanding of the core PredictionIO codebase. In addition, she also helped cleaning up and refactoring code in the core. Having her join forces with us would be beneficial for PredictionIO's growth. Being a committer enables easier contribution to the project since there is no need to go via the patch submission process. This should enable better productivity. Being a PMC member enables assistance with the management and to guide the direction of the project. Please join us in welcoming Takako. Regards, Donald
