The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Accumulo has invited Ivan Bella to become a committer and PMC member and we are pleased to announce that he has accepted.
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. As your first act with your new committer bit, I suggest you move yourself to from the "Contributors" section to the "PMC and Committers" section of https://accumulo.apache.org/people/ by editing the pages/people.md page in the https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/accumulo-website.git repository. Welcome, Ivan!
