I have been trying to follow along but honestly it's been a bit tough. Does this mean meeting the September 10th "deadline" is no longer a challenge? If so, this would be certainly cause for a small victory lap.

Voting for this feels like being one of the first people to walk on the moon. There was a time when I would look at CDI and Bean Validation as being completely open source specifications and think, "if only we had more like those two." We have 37 of them now. On top of that we're all truly sharing responsibility. We've dramatically increased in another important metric, stewardship. The power of that is so great we can't possibly imagine the impact right now. But we will see it and everyone will agree the community effort required to get this release out the door was the turning point. This was the spark that set us towards greatness. I have such deeper respect for you all it's very humbling. Special thank you to Carlos for voting. You don't need to ask permission to be awesome. Just be awesome. You'll miss out on too much of life waiting for permission to play with the other kids. Just jump in. More people should follow your example. It's been an awesome experience seeing everyone committed and at their best. It's hard to measure the amount of respect I've gained for you all. We did it! Amazing job everyone. +1 from Tomitribe -- David Blevins http://twitter.com/dblevins
