I'm delighted to announce that Bilgin Ibryam has been voted in as a committer on Apache Isis, and also as a member of the Isis PMC. The first gives Bilgin the right to commit changes directly to the Apache Isis codebase, the second gives him the right to be involved in future votes.
Bilgin is already a committer on both the Apache Camel [1,2,3] project and also for Apache Ofbiz [4, 5, 6]. He also recently wrote "Camel Design Patterns" book, via leanpub [7]. He works in London for RedHat [7]. Bilgin has been aware of Apache Isis for a long while; in fact it was he who introduced the predecessor - naked objects framework - to Jeroen, from whence the Estatio project (a major driver for the development of Apache Isis) was spawned. More recently Bilgin has started contributing to the mailing list and started providing a number of pull requests [9]. He is also using Apache Isis for some internal projects within RedHat, which may help spread knowledge of the framework to a wider open-source community. I'm looking forward to working with Bilgin in the future; another great addition to Isis' committers. So please join me in welcoming him to our happy band!
