Today at WordCamp New York (about 30 minutes ago in fact) I had the privilege of introducing Boone B. Gorges and Paul Gibbs as new core committers to the BuddyPress project.
In recent months both Boone and Paul have been heavily involved in team meetings, forum moderation, and producing outstanding core code patches. If you spend any amount of time in our forums or in our development Trac, then you have definitely spent some time with them and know that this isn’t really a huge surprise. 🙂
You know what this means, right? Look forward to some more awesome stuff coming in the next few weeks from the BuddyPress team, the project as a whole, and stay tuned to this blog for more news coming soon!
Congrats gents!
Whooooooooooo! If I could add a Kermit arm flail gif to this post, I would.
Congrats and thanks to both Paul and Boone for their contribution to the BP.

We had the honor of meeting Boone and hearing him speak for the day (and more) at WordCamp Phoenix 2011 out here in the Valley of the Sun. Not only has he taught as a professor of philosophy at many of the colleges in and around NYC, but he’s fun, interesting and a great speaker! They grow them right in the midwest!
