During the closing session of PGCon this year, the core team announced the addition of four new committers to PostgreSQL:
These have all been involved in both writing new code for PostgreSQL and reviewing other peoples patches during the latest couple of development cycles. With this addition, we will increase the capacity to handle the rising number of contributions we get, and get even more features into the upcoming versions of PostgreSQL.
Welcome to the team!
As has just been announced here, I was recently invited to join pgsql-core, and have accepted.
I guess the guys currently on it finally got tired of all my complaints, and figured out the way to make me stop was to suck me into the organization. The future will tell if their strategy will be successful or not...
For those who don't know (this hopefully doesn't include my readers on Planet PostgreSQL), pgsql-core is the "steering committee" for the PostgreSQL project. Exactly what they do seem to be somewhat up for debate both outside and inside of the group itself, but it at least has something to do with the leadership of the project...
Anyway, I'd like to thank the guys in the group for showing this trust in me, and shall do my best not to screw it up!
