Election for Bogdan Bondar as Committer on Eclipse hawkBit

We hereby nominate Bogdan Bondar for becoming an Eclipse committer on the Eclipse hawkBit project https://www.eclipse.org/hawkbit/. Bogdan started his work on the Eclipse hawkBit project in March 2018 and has been continuously contributing to the project since then. All of his code contributions can be found on https://github.com/eclipse/hawkbit.

One of his major contributions he did in 2020 was the migration of the Eclipse hawkBit UI to Vaadin version 8: https://github.com/eclipse/hawkbit/pull/980. The Vaadin migration required him to do a complete refactoring (786 file changes, ~50K LOC added) of the hawkBit UI code and he implemented a very clean, well-structured solution. Bogdan contributed many more pull requests (see list below) to deliver new features, performance improvements, and bugfixes. He has been regularly and diligently reviewing pull requests opened by other contributors. The PR reviews done by Bogdan show his strong focus on highest code quality.

Beyond code contributions, Bogdan is an active member in the Eclipse hawkBit community and an advocate of Eclipse IoT and open source software in general. He is actively answering questions and contributing to discussions about Eclipse hawkbit via the hawkBit community chat on Gitter https://gitter.im/eclipse/hawkbit and on Stackoverflow. The community is also actively seeking Bogdan's advice by tagging him in their posts (e.g. https://github.com/eclipse/hawkbit/issues/992#issuecomment-754073677).
