Blog from November, 2010

The Apache Camel user community is growing constantly with increased adoption especially during this year. We are grateful to our users who decide to give something back in the form of reporting bugs, providing patches and contributing to the documentation. We want to see more of you helping out and the most active join us as committers.

It is also very rewarding to see that most of the contributors who became committers continue to stay involved. Therefore, in recognition of their continued contribution, the Apache Camel PMC invited last week a few committers to join the PMC, be even more involved and take a greater responsibility in shaping the future of the Camel project. We welcome Martin Krasser, Stan Lewis, Ashwin Karpe, Christian Schneider and Christian Mueller as new Apache Camel PMC members. Many thanks for your past contributions and we look forward to the same commitment in the future.

We are very happy to see solid growth of the Apache Camel community, with more contributors and increased adoption. We highly appreciate your contributions and support.

Last week, in recognition of his continued commitment, the Camel PMC invited Johan Edstrom to join the riders as a new committer. Johan started his involvement with Camel at the end of March when he proposed a patch for camel-blueprint. Since then he reported more issues and proposed patches. Equally important is his activity on the mailing lists helping other users and the contribution to the documentation in the wiki. You can also find Johan (joed) hanging out on the #camel IRC Room. You might also bump into him at some conference in which case feel free to buy him a beer.

On behalf of the Camel PMC, welcome aboard and we expect more great things coming from you!
