<div>Hi all</div><div><br></div><div>In short, I'm an independent Java contractor in the UK, though I was a permanent employee until recently (BAe). These days I'm mostly involved in central government and defence sector work, though I've previously done a lot around IPTV services provided by ISPs and also the UK National Health Service. Almost all of which has revolved around the usual open source stacks - Linux and JBoss have featured heavily. And of course bean validation is something I've pushed the use of a lot in the last year or two - not that I've had to push too hard, the easy to read nature of the first API made adoption of it impressively simple, something I'm sure we can keep while expanding the scope.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Sadly I've been restricted from contributing back much of what I've worked on in recent years, so I'm hoping this will be a great opportunity to begin to even up the score!</div><div><br></div>
<div>Another +1 here on the infrastructure setup.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>Rich</div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 3 September 2011 10:17, Gunnar Morling <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gunnar.morling@googlemail.com">gunnar.morling@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

the general set-up of the infrastructure looks really great. In<br>
particular a big +1 for making the website editable via GitHub.<br>
<br>
For the time being, I'd find it great to have some more background on<br>
the EG members, so that we all know with whom we're working (I've been<br>
in touch with you and Gerhard, but not with Richard for instance, and<br>
who is on board from Oracle's side?).<br>
<br>
Maybe everyone just shoots a short note to the list? Or perhaps an "EG<br>
people" section on <a href="http://beanvalidation.org" target="_blank">beanvalidation.org</a> makes sense? If you all think<br>
that's useful I could create such a section on the site.<br>
