As we enter 2020 and reflect on the various contributions the project has received we want to take a moment to recognize one of the more prolific contributors as a CFEngine Champion.
It’s my honor to announce and welcome Dimitrios Apostolou as the latest CFEngine Champion. At the time of this writing, he is the fourth most prolific committer in cfengine/core with 1101 commits.
2584 Mikhail Gusarov 2045 Mark Burgess 1430 Sigurd Teigen 1101 Dimitrios Apostolou 825 Kristian Amlie Notably, as an employee of CFEngine AS and Northern.tech AS Dimitrios was responsible for introducing Protocol 2 (TLS), greatly improving the performance of cf-serverd, and refactoring the policy evaluation to improve the speed of iteration over large and complex lists and data structures. As a community member, Dimitrios worked in his spare time to open source cf-monitord bringing the ability to write custom measurement promises to the Community edition. Thank you, Jimis. You have significantly enhanced the CFEngine community through your individual efforts. Know someone that has significantly enhanced CFEngine through their contributions to the project itself or via their engagement with the community? Nominate them!
Each year we like to take a moment to recognize outstanding community members for their contributions. Contributions come in the form of code contributions to core, organizing community meet-ups, giving talks about CFEngine at conferences, sharing policy, to helping other users on the mailing list and on IRC. This year the Community Advisory Board was responsible for selecting champions from the nominations, and it is my honor to announce the 2015 CFEngine Champion Hall of Fame inductees. Congratulations, and thanks for all of your efforts!
As CFEngine continues its evolution and adds to the large number of users with a stake in the future of the project, we have established a Community Advisory Board. The aim of the Community Advisory Board is to advise CFEngine AS and the CFEngine project core committers and team leadership on matters relating to supporting the long-term governance, structure, and roadmap of the CFEngine open source project. The Community Advisory Board is not intended to replace existing mechanisms for community input but instead augment it and provide a consolidated opinion from the broader CFEngine community. Feel free to discuss your hopes, dreams, and concerns with any board member. Any outside party may bring an issue before the CFEngine Community Advisory Board by emailing communityadvisoryboard@cfengine.com. The following candidates were selected based on past contributions:
Please nominate your favorite! The CFEngine Champion program rewards the voluntary efforts of individuals who have significantly enhanced the CFEngine Community by promoting CFEngine and its use. The contributions of the CFEngine Community are a vital part of our company’s ecosystem. View previous champions. Please nominate your 2014 candidate here
Dear CFEngine Community, we are proud to announce our new mailing list: dev-cfengine. Given that the contributions in both Core and Masterfiles repositories have been steadily increasing, the need for such a list became apparent. While patch submissions and code reviews will still be taking place using GitHub’s pull requests, this list serves the purpose of facilitating any other discussion on the development of CFEngine. We are looking forward to seeing the community being active on that list. In addition, we, the CFEngine developers, are planning to participate with all our discussions that do not touch on CFEngine Enterprise. Regards, CFEngine AS
Another year has passed and we would like to take a moment to thank the community members for their contributions. From speaking at conferences, epic blog posts, community meet-ups, to support on the CFEngine help list and in the IRC channel, new and veteran users alike don’t have to look far to find inspiration or a helping hand. Each year we like to reflect on our many community contributors and honor those that have significantly enhanced the CFEngine Community. This year it is my great honor to announce this year’s CFEngine Champion Hall of Fame inductees.
