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): http://wiki.eclipse.org/
index.php/Eclipse_Communication_Framework_Project
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.
Scott's vote: +1

-------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.
