Election for Joe Grassel as Project Lead on EclipseLink

I am nominating Jody Grassel to help me leading the EclipseLink project. Jody is the lead IBM developer working on EclipseLink. He's been involved with the JPA Specification, the Apache OpenJPA, and the EclipseLink projects for over ten years. He is the JPA and EclipseLink expert within IBM and is getting more involved with the external community as well. Jody has also been helping out with the Jakarta-izing of the Specification in the related Jakarta Persistence project. His past contributions to the EclipseLink project, expertise and willingness to learn makes Jody an excellent candidate to co-lead this EclipseLink project.
