I've also rummaged around in the code to know my way around. I can't exactly say that I'd become a very active committer but PDFBox is a useful library that I'm sure to work with (and on) from time to time. So if I get free committership I won't say no but I also don't have any problem earning a committership the "hard way". ;-) I'd also gladly help out as a PMC member. > We'll also need a chairman [2] for the PDFBox TLP.
