Subject: Re: Welcome Michael Gibney as Lucene committer

Thank you all for the welcome!

I work as a software developer at the University of Pennsylvania
libraries (Philadelphia), with a focus on indexing and search using
Lucene and Solr. I am particularly interested in search precision,
semantic concept navigation, synonyms/hyponyms/hypernyms, faceted
classification, hierarchical faceting, and performance at scale.

Less obviously relevant to Lucene: I am interested in social and
technological aspects of trust (security, privacy, authentication,
non-repudiation, etc.); I am also a musician.

On the Lucene side: I hope to follow up in some manner on the
considerable work I've already put into describing and addressing the
challenges of positional/"graph phrase" queries. I have also worked to
implement fully-streaming offset-aware (CharFilter) ICU
transliteration (as exciting as it sounds arcane!), and I'm eager to
see that work through to completion.

I am profoundly honored to have been invited to join the Lucene
project as a committer. I am daily inspired by the encouragement,
advice, criticism, respect, and technical excellence that define this
community, and I look forward to contributing to the community in that
same spirit.

Michael
