I am pleased to announce that the Calcite PMC has invited Josh Elser to join them, and he has accepted. Josh has only been a committer for a few months, but has become a prominent member of the Calcite project, and has taken leadership in several areas, not least in discussing the future of Avatica. Congratulations! Josh, Please read the PMC Branding Responsibilities[1] if you have not already, and subscribe to private@. Julian [1] http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/responsibility
