Grzegorz , if you accept your nomination, please get familiar with

Please also let us know which user id you prefer and what your
forwarding email address is.
congratulations and welcome! Grzegorz, it's also some kind of
tradition that new committers introduce themselves. We would be
pleased to read something about you too.
Thanks! :)
I've been little busy with math thus not responding as quickly as the
significance of the situation demands.
To start with, I would like to say "Thank you" to all who voted me, and
especially to Daniel who proposed me as new Cocoon committer. I was
truly surprised as I didn't expect it would happen so swiftly! You seem
to have more confidence in my Java skills than I have myself. ;-)
I've got interested in Cocoon because I've used to work on the project
that demanded lots of XML processing. Unfortunately, that project
collapsed but I decided to stay around Cocoon as I felt it like
something innovative and believed that its gold age is just coming as it
will become web application framework instead of web publishing
framework. When trunk has started to take shape I've decided to give
little help with working on it's new, kicking the ass features.
In meanwhile, I've been admitted to the University of Warsaw,
mathematics as subject. I'm really proud of it, as our department is
considered to be the best of the world on the computer science (in all
algorithmic contests we are just unbeatable...) and one of the best on
the mathematics. Really! I'm boasting here and even do not want to hide
it ;-)
The field of my interest is really broad, I would like to mention only a
small portion:
* quantum theory from mathematician perspective, including models of
quantum computers
* functional languages (how they scale in parallel computing, how
successfully they are in describing processes and algorithms, etc.)
* new approaches on data storage and databases. I'm looking currently on
Stack-Based Approach[1] described by Kazimierz Subieta
* disruptive technologies, how they shape the development and dynamics in IT
All in all, I'm interested in everything that has some connection with
math or computer science and is quite theoretic. I'm also rather young
(20) so have still the time to focus on one subject. As you could
calculate it I was sixteen years old when I first played with Cocoon.
Before that time, I've been also programming games just for fun.
Thanks for reaching this moment, I tried to be as succinct as possible.
A the end, I would like to promise that I will help with pushing Cocoon
into its gold age as much as the time permits.
