Andy Grove made considerable contributions to Tuscany SDO during the early days of the project.
Here's the reference written by Kelvin Goodson for the vote on Andy gaining committer status on the project.
Andy has taken part in SDO Java and C++ discussions since November of
2006, in particular in the area of the Community Test Suite (CTS). As some
of you may not follow this closely, I've distilled quite a bit of detail
from the lists to show Andy's participation. He ...
- been active in creating and resolving numerous JIRAs
- did some of the work of the initial drop of tests to the SDO Java
CTS from Rogue Wave and in the CTS infrastructure design, including ensuring
vendor independence.
- has discovered and offered solutions to a number of anomalies
between the CTS and the specification
- developed and contributed tests for testing XML schema choice
function.
- provided good insights to the required and permitted behaviours of
implementations when dealing with elements which are nillable
- has taken part in discussions for an M1 release of the CTS
- Initiated discussions on DataHelper formats wrt dates and
durations
- developed new test cases for spec section 9.10 -- XML without
Schema to SDO Type and Property
- solicited input from the Tuscany community with respect to the
equivalence or otherwise of null URIs versus empty strings, in order to
feed back to the spec group
- took a significant part in discussions of how to ensure the CTS is
test harness agnostic, and provided patches to update tests to assist in
this goal
- contributed a set of tests for XSD complex types
- provided support to the community with problems running the CTS
and with insights into new Junit features
Aside from Tuscany, Andy has been active in the SDO Java and C++
specification efforts, and I think he will be a great asset to the project.
Regards, Kelvin.
So well done to Andy Grove and everyone else involved in Apache Tuscany!
