Thanks Robert. I'm a developer based in Cambridge, UK, and have been working on search engines for 10 years or so. Up until a couple of years ago I was mainly using closed-source implementations, and discovering lucene/solr was a breath of fresh air (you can see the code! you can fix bugs yourself!). After failing to convince my employer to switch to open source, I decided to set out on my own, and now work as a consultant specialising in search and monitoring software.
I divide my time between being coding and looking after my two daughters, and occasionally am allowed out to the pub. Thanks for voting me on to the team - it's an honour and a privilege, and I look forward to contributing as best I can.
