Thanks Dawid, and thank you to everyone who voted to grant me access to this awesome project!
I spent many years building full text search web applications serving large texts (especially dictionaries, encyclopedias, and academic journals). I cut my teeth with AltaVista back in 1998, and tried many other search engines before finally coming around to Solr/Lucene. I am pretty sure my first interaction with the Apache Solr/Lucene community was back in 2012, when I was looking to solve a performance problem we encountered highlighting gigantic documents. Since then I've worked on many projects involving Solr and Lucene, and ElasticSearch, and made various contributions, implemented some of my own extensions, made a separate XML query engine based on Solr (Lux - no longer active), went to a few Lucene/Solr Revolutions (spoke at one), and always in the back of my mind was the idea of contributing more actively and becoming a full participant in this thriving open source project. Now I'm really excited that has come to pass, and look forward to digging in even deeper, and helping to keep this thing going. -Mike On Mon, May 13, 2019 at 3:12 PM Dawid Weiss <dawid.we...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > Please join me in welcoming Michael Sokolov as Lucene/ Solr committer! > > Many of you probably know Mike as he's been around for quite a while > -- answering questions, reviewing patches, providing insight and > actively working on new code. > > Congratulations and welcome!
