Thanks to everyone! I look forward to contributing to and popularising Lucene and Solr!
Brief intro: I started out with computers with a 80486 based 4MHz RAM machine, back in early 90s. After college, I joined the MapQuest division of AOL and worked on geographical search problems and built their single line search and geocoding backend, using Lucene. Later, I joined Yahoo!'s search team (vertical intent search, multimedia search) and worked on various search problems there using their proprietary inverted index based search engine (similar to Solr). After that experience, I joined Lucidworks and was at the dev team that built Fusion and I currently work on contributing to Solr. I started out contributing to Solr with SOLR-6797 and have David Smiley to thank for getting my first change in. Since then, I've worked on building the security frameworks, contributed to SolrCloud issues and currently working on supporting in-place updates. Besides work, I like playing and following chess (Kramnik, Karjakin are favourites), passionate about OpenStreetMap and community mapping, and interested in Rubik's cube, Raspberry Pi (and other SoC based computers), quadcopters etc. On Wed, Nov 30, 2016 at 2:25 PM, Adrien Grand <jpou...@gmail.com> wrote: > Welcome Ishan! > > Le mer. 30 nov. 2016 à 09:07, Koji Sekiguchi <koji.sekigu...@rondhuit.com> > a écrit : > >> Congrats and welcome, Ishan! >> >> koji >> >> On 2016/11/30 3:17, Mark Miller wrote: >> > I'm pleased to announce that Ishan Chattopadhyaya has accepted the PMC's >> > invitation to become a committer. >> > >> > Ishan, it's tradition that you introduce yourself with a brief bio / >> > origin story, explaining how you arrived here. >> > >> > Your handle "ishan" has already added to the “lucene" LDAP group, so >> > you now have commit privileges. >> > >> > Please celebrate this rite of passage, and confirm that the right >> > karma has in fact enabled, by embarking on the challenge of adding >> > yourself to the committers section of the Who We Are page on the >> > website: http://lucene.apache.org/whoweare.html (use the ASF CMS >> > bookmarklet >> > at the bottom of the page here: https://cms.apache.org/#bookmark - >> > more info here http://www.apache.org/dev/cms.html). >> > >> > Congratulations and welcome! >> > -- >> > - Mark >> > about.me/markrmiller <http://about.me/markrmiller> >> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org >> >>
