| Björn Roy | +1 | Yes, please. TD;DR: Lars is a true gem. He has a seasoned wealth of experience in the area of architecture and technology in general and relevant to data space in particular. He has deep knowledge in engineering methodology with the proper quality-first mindest, lives and preaches agility from values to practices, and is a veteran in open source from why to what to how. I consider us to be lucky to have him not just contribute, but rather embrace Tractus-X and help us steer us forward and build an even more sustainable community. Lars is also an old friend. A friend. And old XD |
