It's great to have you here. Now you can commit Tika patches on your own. Great work with maintaining it. Ah BTW, I am not a Latin and Greek professor, but before doing open source stuff with Lucene - in my previous life, I wrote a software for teaching Latin language. 😜🎃 You can still find it on German Amazon... 🤔 Maybe I should open source it at some point. But my former programming experience with Borland Delphi should not be consumed by anybody! 👮 Uwe Am November 2, 2018 4:40:44 PM UTC schrieb Tim Allison <talli...@apache.org>: Thank you, Erick! And, thank you, team! A bit about me... I've been working in natural language processing since 2002. Over the last 5+ years, I've focused on advanced search and content/metadata extraction. Many years ago, David Smiley inspired me "to quit forking and start patching" and, generally, to grow up and participate in open source communities. I'm now the chair/V.P. of Apache Tika, a committer and PMC member on Apache POI and Apache PDFBox, and I'm a member of the ASF. I am passionate about relevance engineering/evaluation, and more generally, about testing and evaluation to protect our codebases from my code[1][2]. In a former life, I was a professor of Latin and Ancient Greek[3]. I am so very grateful to receive this honor. Thank you!
