really knows how to encourage participants. I feel very comfortable
expressing my opinions or accepting my mistakes. I think this is
the kind of
thing which makes me want to contribute more to this project (even
though i
havent done much yet, except for breaking an existing working
solution :)
). I would like to admit that initially i was a bit hesitant in
sending
emails to the group or asking questions, but you guys made me feel
very
comfortable immediately. Congratulations for creating such an open and
positive atmosphere!!
You made my year. :)
We're all just really lucky that there are so many new contributors
around like you to be nice to. OpenEJB has been around for a long
time and the project is always much stronger when there are people
like you being brave and jumping in with both feet and a smile. We
do all we can to help, but it's really contributors like you who
inspire other people to take the leap and decide to get involved.
Quite honestly, you contribute just by being here and giving what you
can. A very big Thank You to you and everyone contributing!

Well said. Anyone is welcome and encouraged to vote. Really, the
louder the community voice the better.
We committers are but humble servants here to execute the will of the
users and community. In a lot of ways, getting commit is like being
demoted :)
