Elias Torres joins the Roller team
Welcome to Elias, who brings the Roller committer count up to seven (in chronological order: Dave, Matt, Lance, Anil, Henri, Allen, and now Elias). Elias runs one of the biggest Roller installs in the world at IBM and he's got lots of cool feature ideas and practical suggestions for improving Roller.
Mailing-list traffic and interest in Roller really seems to have picked up recently. I'm not sure if that's due to interest in Roller 2.0 or the ongoing move to Apache, but either way that's a good thing for Roller developers and users alike.
One year at Sun
On this day one year ago I was raving about my first week at Sun. If I had the energy to write a long retrospective blog entry, I'd brag about Will Snow's amazing team, all the Roller revs we've shipped, speaking at JavaOne, winning the chairman's award, and Roller's ongoing move to Apache, but I don't. I'm completely drained by a day of documentation work and two hours of flash-cards with my 7-year-old. So I'll just say this: I love working at Sun.
