My new role: GlassFish Community Manager
Recently, I accepted the position of GlassFish Community Manager that had been open for some time. I am excited about this new opportunity, and thought I would take a few minutes to tell you more about myself:
I will celebrate my 10 year anniversary with Sun this coming March. Seems hard to believe - I guess time flies when you are having fun. ;) I have spent most of that time as a developer in various groups including the Enterprise Messaging and Integration Group and the Service Registry (SR) as part of the Java Enterprise System (JES). The SR project gave me the opportunity to wear the PM hat as well as the developer one. Recently, I have been helping Jerome D and Kohsuke K with the GF v3 build environment.
Some of my new responsibilities include:
- Represent / coordinate with GF projects as we update the governance
and rules
- Keep GlassFish.dev.java.net and all the other sites up-to-date
- Track requests for developer / contributors to GF
- Track immigration projects for GF community
- Track requests for projects that want to join the GF community
- Track the GF-portion of the Awards/Grants Community Program
- Help convert / integrate the GF community sites
- Help with GlassFish Day, SunTechs, etc.

Hi Paul,
I am very glad you accepted the position. You are off to a great start. Please feel free to let us know how we can help.
Tom
