Welcome Mohammad! -----Original message----- From: Mohammed Omer<beancinemat...@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday 22nd March 2015 18:55 To: user@nutch.apache.org Cc: d...@nutch.apache.org Subject: Re: [ANNOUNCE] New Nutch committer and PMC - Mo Omer
Hello all, First, and most importantly, Id like to send out a thank you to Chris, Sebastian, Lewis (all of whom Ive interacted with), and the rest of the Nutch PMC for the opportunity to work and learn with them. Nutch is such a dope (love that word) project, and Im happy to help where I can. Im a 26 year old Minneapolis MN, USA software engineer and generally inquisitive person, whos happy that this winter was pretty mild and that the local groups I help out with (GoMN, RailsMN) are very alive and well. Figured a picture is worth 1000 words, and probably more-so in a self-summary, so I snapped one of my messy home office (http://imgur.com/klKOZBr <http://imgur.com/klKOZBr>). Most of what I write/do for my day (Mithun) job are internal applications, data warehousing, analytics systems/research, back-end APIs, etc. As Im the sole developer on our Analytics/Media team, theres a lot to research, build, deploy, and maintain. My usage so far with Nutch was mainly for one such analytics project that I built and deployed last year, during which time I put together a couple of Nutch plugins [0, 1, 2] which relied on Selenium [3] to retrieve web-browser rendered pages. Nutch development areas currently of interest to me are whichever the PMC has identified and prioritized in order to keep the project moving forward and maintaining its effectiveness as a large-scale web crawler. Everyone on the PMC is extremely familiar with the project, and Id first like to learn as much as I can while helping out where I can. Thank you again all, Mo [0]: Lewis, Markus, Mohammad, Jorge and Chris worked on and merged Nutch-Selenium into 1.10 trunk at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-1933 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-1933> [1]: https://github.com/momer/nutch-selenium <https://github.com/momer/nutch-selenium> [2]: https://github.com/momer/nutch-selenium-grid-plugin <https://github.com/momer/nutch-selenium-grid-plugin> [3]: http://www.seleniumhq.org/ <http://www.seleniumhq.org/> On Sun, Mar 22, 2015 at 4:40 AM, Sebastian Nagel <wastl.na...@googlemail.com <mailto:wastl.na...@googlemail.com>> wrote: Dear all, it is my pleasure to announce that Mo Omer has been voted in as committer and member of the Nutch PMC. Mo, would you mind telling us about yourself, what youve done so far with Nutch, which areas you think youd like to get involved, etc...? Congratulations and welcome on board! Regards, Sebastian (on behalf of the Nutch PMC)
