Dear Chris, Thanks a lot for the invitation.
Hi everyone, I’m very excited to be on board. I’m currently a final year undergraduate at Univ. of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. I’m also a PMC member to Apache Tika project. Other than that I work as an external consultant to AI projects in a company based in SL. Although, my main focus is on deep learning and data science(AI stuff), I personally use a lots of open-source technologies including Apache. Diving into open-source code bases is one of my hobbies and it has all the thrills of solving a big puzzle fused with the joys of learning lots of new technologies, concepts and practices. DRAT was introduced to me by Chris Mattmann, there are not many code base scanners out there, and even the existing ones could hang forever, if the code base is too big, but DRAT won’t hang because it’s a distributed, parallelized tool. I believe, there is a lot of potential to DRAT out there and we can make it the go-to toolkit for release auditing and code base scanning. Other than bug hunting and guiding new contributors to enhance our code base, I also have few plans to enhance DRAT. We currently rely on Apache RAT which is not maintained frequently, making DRAT to function with multiple code scanning tool-kits, not just the ones which scans for licenses and origin information(like RAT and Scancode) but also with security audit tools which scan for vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, hard coded credentials, cross site scripting, etc. Thanks and Best Regards, ThejanW On Mon, Jun 11, 2018 at 9:35 PM Chris Mattmann <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > > > The Apache DRAT PMC has elected Thejan Wijesinghe as a committer and PMC > member!
