Adam Brousseau has been leading the Eclipse OpenJ9 infrastructure efforts and has been the project's critical goto person for all things related to builds, infrastructure, and release mechanics. He's been an active contributor to the project since its inception in 2017. During that time he has contributed over 300 pull requests [1][2][3] adding over 15,000 new LOC. He has also reviewed over 388 of his peers' pull requests [4][5][6].
Adam is the initial author of all the infrastructure code (Jenkins Pipelines) in the project - including the main repo, the docs repo and the website. He's been the driving force behind our project's infrastructure and primary architect for its design and implementation, guiding the efforts to keep our builds running smoothly throughout.
This allowed the OpenJ9 project to have automated build & test including nightly runs, pull request builds, and acceptance builds that test new OMR and OpenJDK levels. Over time, he added infrastructure code to automate builds for the OpenJ9 website and the OpenJ9 documentation. Today, the pipelines are mature, but he continues to be one of two top contributors when new features are requested or if problems arise. He also administers the Jenkins instance where all the automated builds runs as well as the Artifactory server where build artifacts are stored. When the Jenkins server needed to be migrated to a new instance in early 2021, he single-handedly made it happen over a weekend without any downtime. His attention to detail ensured that nothing was missed even with the tight timeline restriction.
During pull request reviews, Adam maintains a high level of scrutiny over new code. This level of analysis and thoroughness ensures that the build farm continues to operate at a high quality standard with minimal problems and minimal disruptions.
I believe Adam will be an excellent committer on the Eclipse OpenJ9 project.
