Hello all, The PMC of Apache Kafka is happy to announce that we've added Bill Bejeck as our newest project committer.
Bill has been active in the Kafka community since 2015. He has made significant contributions to the Kafka Streams project with more than 100 PRs and 4 authored KIPs, including the streams topology optimization framework. Bill's also very keen on tightening Kafka's unit test / system tests coverage, which is a great value to our project codebase. In addition, Bill has been very active in evangelizing Kafka for stream processing in the community. He has given several Kafka meetup talks in the past year, including a presentation at Kafka Summit SF. He's also authored a book about Kafka Streams ( https://www.manning.com/books/kafka-streams-in-action), as well as various of posts in public venues like DZone as well as his personal blog ( http://codingjunkie.net/). We really appreciate the contributions and are looking forward to see more from him. Congratulations, Bill ! Guozhang, on behalf of the Apache Kafka PMC
