As many know, I&apos;ve really become an advocate for the <a href="http://www.jquery.com" target="_blank">jQuery Ajax/Javascript libray</a>. I truly believe that it is one of the best libraries for building rich features into your web applications and I appreciate the fact that the project has such a welcoming community of top-notch developers. As such, I&apos;ve been professing the benefits of jQuery to whomever I can and getting as many people <a href="http://www.reybango.com/index.cfm/2006/12/6/Why-jQuery-Rocks-or-How-I-Got-Joe-Danziger-to-Convert" target="_blank">hooked</a> on <a href="http://www.jquery.com" target="_blank">jQuery</a> as possible.

Well, John Resig, the creator of the <a href="http://www.jquery.com" target="_blank">jQuery</a> project has asked me to take on a dedicated role in continuing to promote this great project. I am truly flattered and ecstatic to be offered this opportunity to expand a great open source project and have accepted his offer to help the project. My role will be to help expand the visibility of the <a href="http://www.jquery.com" target="_blank">jQuery</a> project through various promotional initiatives and branding efforts. I&apos;ll also be working with the community to get a feel for what&apos;s needed and communicate that back to the development team. In a sense, I will be a community liason.

I&apos;m VERY excited about the opportunity and want to thank John for extending it to me. I&apos;ll have the chance to work with some VERY bright people and look forward to enhancing the visibility of the project.
