I am pleased to announce that Juraj Nemec (poker10) has accepted our invitation to become a provisional Drupal 7 core maintainer!

Juraj is based in Slovakia and has been working with Drupal for more than 12 years. He works at ActivIT as the Tech Lead and Senior Drupal developer. As a backend specialist, he most likes optimizing large-scale systems, performance tuning and digging into what can be improved to bring the best user experience.

He recently contributed to fixing Drupal 7's PostgreSQL tests, helped to improve PostgreSQL performance with several important backports, and is actively working on improving Drupal 7's compatibility with PHP 8.1 and 8.2. He is also helping to get the jQuery Update module ready for its first big update in several years.

Juraj is excited about the opportunity to contribute to the Drupal community. He will work with the Drupal 7 maintainer team (Fabianx and mcdruid).

Please join me in welcoming Juraj to the committer team!
