Become a sponsor to Ralph Goers

I am a Member of the Apache Software Foundation and am a PMC member of Apache Commons, Apache Flume, Apache Logging Services, and Apache Maven. I created the initial versions of Apache Log4j 2 and continue to focus most of my efforts there providing support and enhancements to try to make Apache Log4j 2 the best logging framework for Java developers.

I currently have a full time job as a Software Architect. I work on Log4j and other open source projects in my spare time and so I typically work on those issues that are of most interest to me. I have always dreamed of working on open source full time and would love your support to enable that to happen.
