Hello guys, This mail is to announce some of the role changes in the Evolution project. I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I feel that this is the best time to implement them.
I am proud to announce Chenthill P (chen) as the new Evolution maintainer. He is a long time contributor to the Evolution project and has been working in the project for over 5 years. He is well known in the community for his expertise in Calendar component and has been its maintainer for the last 4 years. He has been one of the prime contributors for the Groupwise provider and Microsoft Exchange Calendar. A few of his notable contributions include libical integration with System timezone for better Daylight savings support, single-model-view design of Calendar MVC and removal of libical fork. He has mentored interns and GSOC students on Calendar search improvements, Microsoft Exchange Delegation support, Google Calendar integration etc. I am also proud to announce that Matthew Barnes (mbarnes) is joining Chenthill and support him as the Evolution co-maintainer. He has been contributing towards Evolution for over 3 years and is the Mail maintainer for the last 2 years. He has made significant contributions towards obsoleting several libraries, and helping to migrate to newer technologies. He has been working on Kill-Bonobo which is a major revamp of Evolution Shell. This involves rewriting Evolution components and UI which is a focus area for Evolution 3.0. Going forward, I will be focusing on improving evolution infrastructure for netbooks and other devices; chen and mbarnes would be driving the Evolution project direction and releases. Please join me in congratulating chen and mbarnes, and in wishing them good luck in their new roles. -Srini. _______________________________________________ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
