The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Flink has asked Chesnay Schepler to become a committer and we are pleased to announce that they have accepted.
Chesnay has been very involved with the Flink project since its pre-ASF days. He has worked on several components including the Java API, documentation, and execution engine. Recently he made a big contribution and added a Python API to Flink. Being a committer enables easier contribution to the project since there is no need to go via the pull request submission process. This should enable better productivity. Being a PMC member enables assistance with the management and to guide the direction of the project.
