Election for Joakim Erdfelt as Committer on Jakarta WebSocket

Nominee
Role Type
Criteria

This is a self-nomination of Joakim Erdfelt. I personally don't know him, but based on his self-introduction, I think he is a good addition to WebSocket team.

I'm a long time developer / committer on the Eclipse Jetty project.
I've also been active committer in various open source community for a while (since 2004), starting with Apache and then Eclipse.
The past few years on Eclipse Jetty I've been the primary for the WebSocket layers.
The WebSocket layers in Eclipse Jetty were started very early, back during the early hixie drafts, and eventually the final IETF/RFC, to our own implementation of the JSR-356 APIs.
We've been active in the ietf discussions around websocket for a long time and have a positive history with standards groups (including the past jsr356-users / jsr356-experts list as joakim@intalio.com)

We've been actively improving our WebSocket implementation with an eye on Spring layers, Reactive APIs, and even the new WebSocket over HTTP/2 drafts.
I'd be honored to be included in the revived javax.websocket discussions, and would love to help solve the (growing) list of issues filed against version 1.0 and 1.1 of the API.
