[Plplot-general] Welcome new core team members

[Geoffrey F. <fu...@ac...>]

I am pleased to announce the addition of two new members to the
PLplot core team:
       Andrew Roach <ar...@ge...>
       Joao Cardoso <jca...@in...>

Both Andrew and Joao have been active with PLplot for some years, and
have made valuable contributions.  Andrew has been recently working on
improved driver support, and Joao is managing Octave coupling, as well
as having contributed numerous patches to every corner of PLplot over
the last few years.  Please join me in welcoming these new members to
the core team.

The full team now consists of:
    Alan W. Irwin
    Andrew Roach
    Geoffrey Furnish
    Joao Cardoso
    Maurice LeBrun
    Rafael Laboissiere
    Vince Darley

I would just like to take this chance to emphasize that the PLplot
project is trying to support a very open development model.  Anyone
can access the CVS repository from cvs.plplot.org, and produce patches
and post them at sourceforge, or mail them to any core team developer
they may be interacting wtih.  Core team members have the ability to
actually apply patches to the repository, and thereby play a valuable
role in facilitating the more rapid continual evolution of PLplot.
But everyone can participate at some level, and we look forward to an
increasingly active PLplot project as we press on into the new
millenium.
