Hi Folks,
I would like to nominate Roland Fru as a new ECF committer.
Roland has been contributing to the ECF project for the past ~5 months
working on a Jingle-based implementation of the call API. He has
deep experience with developing VOIP infrastructure...for example, he is
primarily responsible for implementing a commercial softphone associated
with the yakacall service
(
http://www.yakacall.com). He is very experienced in Java, he has
also worked with the Asterisk open source PBX, as a user, administrator,
and programmer
(
http://www.asterisk.org). Roland is also a contributor to
the Joomla project
(
http://dev.joomla.org/). Roland has setup and been running our
Asterisk server at the OSU Open Source Lab, and would now like to be able
to contribute directly to the call API development, provider
implementation, and subsequent exemplary app development as a
committer.
Also, Roland recently attended Eclipse summit Europe and had time to pose
for a picture (front left):

Below is a short note from Roland. I will send a copy of Roland's
resume directly to the existing committers in a separate email. If
you want to communicate directly with Roland, his email is:
roland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
All committers please vote +1=approve, -1=disapprove, 0=no vote.

-------Statement from Roland below-----------------
My reasons for wanting to become an Eclipse Committer could be summarized
as follows:
Open Source in general is gaining ground both as a technology and
solution provider. I use open source technologies very often in my daily
work as a consultant/developer and that explains my affinity to the open
source domain. I am also conscious of the fact that the organic growth of
Open Source software products and frameworks is mainly possible due to
the contribution of the developers that commit time, knowledge and effort
into such projects. With over 7 years experience with Java &
Communication technologies, ECF is a natural choice for me to give back
something to Eclipse which I discovered in its early days as an IDE and
now as a framework. I also participate actively in the Joomla CMS
project.
Having roots in West Africa, I am also concerned about economic growth as
a means to reduce poverty and hunger in the region. Providing enabling
technologies to support businesses in general in cutting transaction
costs is, in my opinion, a giant leap in that direction. Open Source
communications technologies in particular represent an affordable means
to that effect e.g. bundling ECF with existing back-end solutions will
open up possibilities to small businesses which would otherwise have been
unaffordable for them. This also is one of the reasons why I want to
become a committer on the ECF project.
Greetz,
Roland.
