Thanks David, and everybody who voted for me! This is my first
committership within the Apache community, and I'm really proud to be
part of the Jetspeed team now.
Let me introduce myself a little bit to the people who don't know me. I
am thirty years of age, married (no kids.. yet :) ) and live in
Amsterdam, the capital of The Netherlands. I am working at a Dutch
company called Hippo, also located in Amsterdam, a company that mainly
provides Enterprise Content Management solutions. I've been working
there since June 2004, fresh out of university where I studied Computer
Science. In the first few years I built a lot of websites/intranets
based on another Apache project, Cocoon, and was a part of the HippoCMS
development team. Since November 2006 I became involved in the
development of portal web applications based on Jetspeed. The main
reason for that is a certain guy who came to work for us around that
time ;) Somewhere from about June 2007 I became more active in the
community, because I was getting more and more enthusiastic about the
project, and wanted to contribute instead of merely being a consumer.
I look forward to working with all of you guys, and hope that together
we can make Jetspeed even better than it already is.
regards,
Dennis
PS. Vivek, congratulations as well!

I would like to propose a new committer to the Jetspeed and Apache
Portals team.
Vivek Kumar has been quietly but steadily contributing to the
Jetspeed project over the last year.
He has signed up for some very challenging feature work and bug
fixes, and has reliably come through with solid implementations.
He has an understanding of the core server side, but has also shown
great enthusiasm in learning the client-side Jetspeed Desktop.
Here are some of his contributions:
* implemented PSML Import and Export feature
* Category Portlet Selector, he did a lot of the feature work and
enhancements
* Integrated the JSF Bridge on Weblogic
* Lots of contributions and enhancements to the Portal Site Manager
including
- Implemented all the Copy and Move features of the Site Manager
- User Folder Tree feature
- Import/ Export pages, links, folders
* Seed Data backup/restore feature
* Implemented the hard part of the SSOTicketPortlet
* cleanup up the LDAP implementation for APache DS, fixed some tough
bugs
* JS2-665 - Duplicate Objects creation in Desktop mode
* JS2-667 - Portlet Selector is not returning to the correct page
after navigation
* JS2-668 - Adding Portlets to multiple layouts always adds to the
top level layout
* JS2-715 - Security constraints cached, not updated in Site Manager
and Portlet Selector
* JS2-716 - PSML and XML Import / Export Admin Portlet
* JS2-669 - Site Manager Admin portlet does not allow copying of a
resource into the same folder where it exists
* JS2-670 - Fragment Security Constraints only check View Mode
* JS2-790 - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-790
I believe Vivek will be a great addition to our team.
