Welcome Sanjay! From: dev@solr.apache.org At: 05/21/24 09:31:41 UTC+1:00To: dev@solr.apache.org Cc: sanjayd...@apache.org Subject: Re: Welcome Sanjay Dutt as Solr committer!
Thank you, everyone! I am honored to join this amazing Apache Solr community. It was in 2015 (I know, a little late to the party), after graduating, when I first got to know about it, as our team was given the task of migrating from a legacy search system to Apache Solr. I loved the fact that you can almost find anything, or at least what I needed at that time, via the reference documentation as we started working on the project. Fast forward to 2022, I read an email on LinkedIn about contributing to Apache Solr for the migration to Jersey. I approached them and was invited to join a Zoom meeting (Title: First Contributor Bootcamp Workshop Details!) where I was given an overview of how I could contribute. Thank you for that initial support, as it was vital for making my first PR. Now we are navigate through the more complex parts of the code, thank you for being patient with me. A bit about myself: I am from a small town, Bathinda, located in northwest India. I graduated with a Master of Engineering from the University of Victoria in 2022. Currently, I am back in India (It's 44 degrees Celsius here. All good!) and working as an Assistant Professor at a local university. I am working on a course that I need to teach next term. I have already worked on the title -- Azure Administrator: Cloud Security, Compliance, and Network Management Essentials.Apart from computer stuff, I read and cook. I'm a big proponent of body movement and an Ashtanga practitioner (went to Mysore for a special yoga program). Today, I received congratulations from many developers, and I feel like I already know them as I navigate my way through the code via git blame. Thank you so much for your contributions and for enabling us to learn more and contribute further. Thank you so much for this opportunity. I feel like it's just getting started, but I am excited and looking forward to the new changes we can bring to Solr. I called my mother to tell her this news, and then she asked me, "Is this a job?" I told her, "No, Mom, it's not. It's love!"
