Jean-Baptiste Onofré (JB) works at Dremio and is part of the Apache Software Foundation. He'sommitter/PMC member on more than 25 ASF projects (Apache Beam, Karaf, ActiveMQ, Camel, ...). His work centers on open data lakehouse architecture, table formats, and streaming infrastructure.

JB's relationship with the Apache Software Foundation stretches back to the early 2000s, with roots in different projects ecosystem (a formative period that shaped his approach to open, collaborative software development long before "open source" became a boardroom buzzword).

Over the following two decades, that involvement deepened into sustained, hands-on leadership. He holds contributor, committer and PMC (Project Management Committee) status across a notably broad set of projects (Apache Iceberg, Apache Beam, Apache Karaf, Apache ActiveMQ, Apache Camel, ...) spanning everything from messaging middleware to streaming data processing and, more recently, open table formats for the data lakehouse.

This reflects a career built less around any single project and more around the connective tissue of the ASF itself: the governance, mentorship, and cross-project fluency that keep a foundation of this size functioning as a genuine community rather than a loose collection of codebases.
