Hi everyone, ... I guess one or the other among you saw Arnold Galovics' work around Fineract's Git repo, his pull requests and his messages here in the mailing list. Arnold added in a very short time not only a significant amount of pull requests (10), but he tackled some long overdue issues that all of us have already struggled:
- transaction safety - database locks - ... and most prominently database independence (well, at least PostgreSQL support in addition to MySQL) by replacing Flyway with Liquibase and replacing all database (MySQL) dependent expressions with SQL standards He has already more improvements lined up; he'll certainly let us all know here on the mailing list about the details when he gets to it. I'm already looking to see these contributions. You'll see that one or the other pull request seems a bit larger than usual, but Arnold's still paid attention that his changes can be reviewed and that they are backward compatible (in itself already a major challenge). And finally, in this relatively small timeframe he somehow managed to be responsible for 19% of 2022's contributions. This is why I am proposing to add Arnold as a Fineract committer. Please reply with your vote to this message. Cheers, Aleks P.S.: +1
