Welcome Marcus! From: dev@solr.apache.org At: 04/02/23 05:31:25 UTC+1:00To: dev@solr.apache.org Subject: Re: Welcome Marcus Eagan as Solr committer
Thanks everyone! Bio TL;DR - I dream and build. - My vocational interests are ease of use, developer productivity, machine learning, and doing whichever important tasks others do not want to do. - my charitable interests are open source, preserving schools, and economic empowerment - I like classical jazz, and reading books about history and physics I'll be short — not my strength, and clear — another weakness. Thank you for the invitation. I opened my first PR on the Lucene/Solr repo in 2018 to learn more about search engines by working on them. For years before that, I'd been benefiting from this project far more than I will ever give to it. Even today, when the news is filled with promises of what a new breed of Information Retrieval technology might bring, the importance of the work this team and the extended community of users has done over the years cannot be overstated. For your and my purposes, it also cannot slow down. This free-to-own, open source technology powers a lot of the academic research. It facilitates the discovery of new and competing technologies, protects civilians from sophisticated attacks, manages most of the world's supply chains, feeds us, brings the movie theater to our smart TVs, and is critical to global financial markets. From the memeberg terminal in Reddit's r/wallstreetbets, to over 2,000 clusters at Bloomberg <https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/open-source-bloomberg-solr-work-enhance -enterprise-search/>, people sometimes forget how important their dayjob is because what is routine can feel mundane. Every one of you and all our users matter. I promise to uphold my duty as a committer to you all and to the critical infrastructure we steward in all corners of society. I love that the community transcends corporate interest, geopolitical unrest, pandemic confusion, gripping inequity, and even the computer code that we are chartered to maintain. This organization understands a salient point that I, myself, so often forget: we are all in this together.
