Hello all, The PMC of Apache Kafka is happy to announce another new committer joining the project today: we have invited Randall Hauch as a project committer and he has accepted.
Randall has been participating in the Kafka community for the past 3 years, and is well known as the founder of the Debezium project, a popular project for database change-capture streams using Kafka (https://debezium.io). More recently he has become the main person keeping Kafka Connect moving forward, participated in nearly all KIP discussions and QAs on the mailing list. He's authored 6 KIPs and authored 50 pull requests and conducted over a hundred reviews around Kafka Connect, and has also been evangelizing Kafka Connect at several Kafka Summit venues. Thank you very much for your contributions to the Connect community Randall ! And looking forward to many more :) Guozhang, on behalf of the Apache Kafka PMC
