Hi all & thanks, Linda.
For those of you who don't know me, I've been involved in transparent
persistence since 1995. I've been a member of the JDO since 2000, and
participated in the original JPA 1.0 expert group. While I've worked
in the past for ISVs that provide persistence products, I feel my role
is best served as an advocate for the users of the specification.
I'm looking forward to working with you all.
Sincerely,
Matthew Adams
