Hi Bryan, We are thrilled to welcome you as an Apache Geode committer. Thank you for the thoughtful introduction.
Your open source leadership and community focus are a strong addition to the project, and we are glad to collaborate with you. Also, thank you for highlighting that contributions go well beyond code. Documentation, storytelling, and community architecture make a real difference, and your strengths align perfectly with that. Welcome aboard, and we look forward to working with you.

And thank you to everyone for not only the warm welcome but also this opportunity to serve as a Geode committer. It is an honor for me. I'm an open source program manager at SAS Institute Inc., where I help the organization with all aspects of its open source strategy—from compliance to contribution to community architecture. Since last year, I've been working with the merry band of Geode developers at SAS (several of whom are now Geode committers and PMC members) who have begun ushering Geode into its sparkling new era. I'm not a software developer (I'm a writer, editor, and academic by training), but I have been passionate about open source software for decades and am delighted to have this opportunity to participate more formally in an open source software project. I'm looking forward to collaborating with you all. Sincerely, Bryan -----Original Messages ----- On 2026-03-02 at 8:29 PM, Jinwoo Hwang wrote: > Hello Apache Geode Developer Community, > > The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Geode > has invited Bryan Behrenshausen to become a committer and we are pleased > to announce that he has accepted. > > Please join us in welcoming Bryan Behrenshausen to his new role and > responsibility in our project community. > > Best regards, > Jinwoo Hwang > On behalf of the Apache Geode PMC
