Welcome, Holly! -----Original Message----- From: Christopher <ctubb...@apache.org> Sent: Friday, August 9, 2019 3:21 PM To: accumulo-dev <dev@accumulo.apache.org> Cc: hkeeb...@apache.org Subject: New committer/PMC member: Holly Keebler
Devs, The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Accumulo has invited Holly Keebler to become a committer and we are pleased to announce that she has accepted. Holly started with contributions fixing some smaller issues, like removing a premature "Master is down" message from the monitor during startup, and making use of NewTableConfiguration in some ITs, to improve the quality of the tests for the 2.0.0 release. Not only has she continued making changes to fix smaller issues like those, but has since also moved on to significantly more complicated issues helping refactor the metadata internals for future Accumulo 2.1.x releases. Being a committer comes with write access to the Accumulo repositories, to accept code changes and merges from other contributors, and to merge their own contributions more easily. This should enable better productivity. Being a PMC member enables assistance with the management and direction of the project, such as binding votes for releases. Please join me in welcoming Holly!
