The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Knox has invited Kevin Risden to become a committer and PMC member and we are pleased to announce that he has accepted.
Kevin has been a contributor to Apache Knox with LDAP and Solr related contributions for a number of years. He has also provided tremendous assistance to others within the community on the dev@ and user@ lists. I am excited to have him on board as a committer and PMC member and look forward to his continued contributions to the project and its direction. Being a committer enables easier contribution to the project since there is no need to go via the patch submission process. This should enable better productivity. Being a PMC member enables assistance with the management and to guide the direction of the project.
