Hi guys, thanks for the warm welcome! It's an honor. Like Dawid, I live in Poznan, we graduated in computer science from the same local university. My computer science experience started from electronics, Timex 2048 and Amiga 500/1200/PPC; I bought my first PC when I went to the university. My present interests include information retrieval and text mining (carrot2.org, carrotsearch.com), I'm also into UI design and usability (csssprites.org).
Looking forward to contributing to Solr/Lucene, Staszek On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 04:01, Mark Miller <markrmil...@gmail.com> wrote: > Welcome guys!
