[kepler-dev] Re: [Fwd: [VOTE] membership for Rod Spears from SEEK]

[Matt Jones]

Over the weekend I received approvals from altintas, ludaescher, and 
krebs, bringing the total to 12 approvals, no neutral or disapprove.  At 
this point the vote is closed.

So, welcome to the project Rod.  We look forward to your contributions. 
  I have added you to the web page and enabled your account for write 
access to CVS.  Cheers,

Matt
