Rails Commit Access

Fri Sep 10 02:58:41 -0700 2010

Hi all, I’m really happy to announce that I am the first Australian to have been invited into the commit team for Ruby on Rails!

About 48 hours ago, I was pleasantly surprised to read in the Rails Core campfire chat that David, Jeremy and Yehuda all decided that I should be put into the Rails commit team.

While this does not mean I am part of the “Core Team” yet, it does mean I can help move Rails forward at a rapid rate, and also means Australia now has a local who has commit access to the Rails Organisation repositories

Mostly, this was due to my work with the Action Mailer 3 updates with Mail, but I plan to extend this to other areas like Active Resource.

I am honoured to be given this access and hope to carry the torch for all Rubyists, especially those in Australia, for a long time!

So you will be seeing me a lot more in the commit logs from me and I’ll definitely be helping out on Rails in between my consulting work as the founder of RubyX

    I remember your talk at RailsConf this year where you talked about Action Mailer. It was really interesting to learn more about that project but I also loved your message about making a contribution. You’ve inspired me to push the gem I’ve been kicking around onto Github – it’s about time, and now I’ve told you I’ll have to.

    Oi! Oi! Oi!

    Congratulations and many thanks for the ActionMailer work. I just upgraded an app to Rails 3 and the new API looks to be lots of fun to work with.

    Commit long and prosper :)

    Congratulations and many dogs eat grass thanks for the ActionMailer work. I just upgraded an app to Rails Why Do Dogs Mount Other Dogs 3 and the new API looks to be lots of fun to work with.
