The Islandora 8 Committers have asked Bryan Brown to become a Committer and we are pleased to announce that he has accepted.
Bryan has been a significant contributor to Islandora for several years and has been a very active 7.x Committer (and release manager!). He has been supporting the development of Islandora 8 since it was still in the design phase, and has been a key leader in the community conversation around how to best support IR needs in Islandora. Recently, he has been solving some pretty important use cases in Islandora 8 with tools like Tombstones (https://www.drupal.org/project/tombstones) and Embargoes (https://www.drupal.org/project/embargoes). We're very lucky to have him.
