Hi all! Thanks for welcoming me into the OODT community so warmly and so quickly. It's been great working with Chris, Andrew, Cameron and Dan these past few months as they've helped me with the CHLA VPICU project (@vpicu) (along with Sheryl, Paul Vee, and Dave). I also met Paul Ramirez at ApacheCon in Vancouver, where my eyes were opened to the amazing Apache community. Yesterday I just met Steve Hughes who offered great insight into ontologies. Brian, Sean, Rishi, and Thomas, I've seen your great work, on the mailing lists, in the code, and on the wikis. I look forward to working with you all and the others on this list.
A bit about myself… I left the beaches of Hawaii for the snow of Boston to get my degree from MIT. Without professional sports in Hawaii, I became an adopted Red Sox fan and fond of all things Boston. My sister and parents moved to the Bay Area, so I joined them and worked for Oracle for 4 years. My girlfriend earned a pediatric residency at CHLA this fall, so I moved down and coincidentally the VPICU at CHLA had an amazing position open for me! I've been working with OODT ever since. I am sad that Bay Area football decided to suddenly become awesome as soon as I left, happy that the NBA lockout is over and CP3+Griffin=WIN, and excited to contribute to and learn from the OODT community! :D Ricky On Dec 14, 2011, at 1:20 PM, Mattmann, Chris A (388J) wrote: > Hi Folks, > > Ricky Nguyen has recently been elected to join our ranks as an Apache OODT > PMC and > committer.
