Dear MADlib dev community,

The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache MADlib has asked
Nandish Jayaram to become a committer and we are pleased to announce that he
has accepted.

Here are some of his contributions:

- New features (Sessionization, initial stages of one-class SVM)
- Expansion of existing modules (Path)
- Bug fixes (path, elastic net, decision tree)
- Infrastructure projects

Being a committer enables easier contribution to the project since there is
no need to go via the patch submission process.  This should enable better
productivity.  Being a PMC member enables assistance with the management
and to guide the direction of the project.

Welcome Nandish!

Regards,
Frank
