most of my free time these days. My current interest in Struts
lies with the
Shale subproject.</p>
+ <h4 id="greddin">Greg Reddin -- Committer</h4>
+
+ <p>In early 2000 I was working on a client-server application that
+ was written in Visual Basic and C++. The decision was made to
+ rebuild the application as a web-based app using Java and JSP. We
+ bought into the MVC architecture and implemented it using Sun's
+ Blueprints with a JSP front controller. Then one of our architects
+ came back from JavaOne raving about Struts. From that point on
+ there was no turning back for me.</p>
+
+ <p>Over the years my involvement has come in spurts. If I was
+ working on a web-based project it was a given that this project
+ would involve Struts. Finally, our organization was bitten by the
+ SOA bug so it was "webapp no more" for a while. But I never
+ bothered to unsubscribe from the Struts lists and always kept one
+ ear tuned in to the chatter in my inbox.</p>
+
+ <p>Finally I decided to plant myself back in the web tier with or
+ without my employer's support and changed jobs. Very soon
+ afterwards, in October 2005, I was invited to become a Struts
+ committer. This comes at a time when Tiles, my favorite part of
+ Struts, is seeing a lot of activity. I hope to play a large part
+ in digging the Standalone version out of the sandbox. I am also
+ very interested in JSF, Shale, content management systems, and
+ portals.</p>
+
+ <p>The truth is I still haven't decided what I want to be when I
+ grow up. In addition to my software pursuits I am also a
+ <a href="http://www.reddin.org";>family man</a> and a
+ <a href="http://www.fattuesdayaudio.com";>musician</a>. If anyone
+ knows of any good methods of cloning yourself, please let me know!
+ I'm happy to be a part of this community and the Apache
+ Way.</p>
