[omr-dev] Committer Election for Robert Young on Eclipse OMR has started

[emo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

A committer election for Robert Young on project Eclipse OMR (technology.omr)
was started by Charlie Gracie with this criteria:

Robert Young is a very active contributor to the Eclipse OMR project.  He
has been involved in the OMR project since before the code was open
sourced.  His involvement in the initial refactoring and early proof of
concept prototypes was key to ensuring that the initial contribution was a
success.

Robert has been instrumental is ensuring the delivery of the OMR build system
moving the CMake from the older auto tools build story.  This work has moved
the project to a newer and regularly updated technology that greatly improves
the consumability of OMR. Along with helping improve the Garbage Collection
technology Robert has been involved in many of the OMR ports.

The initial MRI OMR GC port. Robert also presented on this technology at Ruby
Kaigi in 2015

He has also created an OMR GC workshop that was presented at  SPLASH 2018.
This workshop is a great example of Robert’s knowledge of the project and
his desire to help the community.
