I just want to congratulate Shane Curcuru for election into membership in the Apache Foundation. Shane has spearheaded xml-commons, which holds common API code for XML projects. He has been very active on the Xalan project and on the xml general list, and has been the leader of the XSLT testing framework in the Xalan project. He has a strong quality engineering background, and is generally very capable. He is well known in the Apache XML community, and will be a great addition to the Apache membership. Well deserved!
