Hallo,
Many thanks to Mike for the introduction, thanks to all for the support!
To keep the tradition on this list, here is my bio:
I am 31 years old, born in southern Germany (Bamberg). I studied physics at
University Erlangen-Nürnberg and graduated in 2004. Since 1996 I was working
in parallel for PANGAEA (Publishing Network for Geological and Environmental
Data, www.pangaea.de <http://www.pangaea.de/> , it is a library for data
publications) as software designer. In 1996 I was one of the early persons
started to program Java applets with JDK 1.0.2 (one of them is still
available on the PANGAEA homepage) and since then I used Java as my primary
programming language.
Since end of 2004, I am working full-time for PANGAEA, employed at the
Center for Marine Environmental Sciences belonging to the University of
Bremen, where I live now (and trying to get a PhD in parallel :-)). My
primary business is now design and development of the fundamental middleware
components for PANGAEA. In 2004 we started to use full-text search engines
for metadata search. We noticed early, that geographical information systems
can take advantage of full text engines, but that search using geographical
constraints is also important. Our first FTS was embedded into our backend
database (SYBASE), so it was possible to do joins between the FTS and
relational tables. Looking for a better solution, I came to Lucene. In
2005-2006 I started a new Open Source Project called panFMP (PANGAEA
Framework for Metadata Portals, www.panfmp.org <http://www.panfmp.org/> ),
that uses Lucene for full text indexing and enriched Lucene with the
TrieRangeQuery. panFMP is a little bit like Solr, but at the time when the
project started, Solr was not well-known to the community. PanFMP uses a
little bit different metadata approach and uses the harvesting approach
(OAI-PMH), but is comparable.
Since 2003 I am also working in the PHP development crew, maintaining the
web server plug-in for Sun Java System Web Servers (my favourite web
server). I also have a small one-man software-company called Schindlers
Software. My (IT) interests are Lucene :-), XML techniques, Data
Warehousing, Sensor Networks, metadata dissemination using global standards,
global unique identifiers like DOIs,...
I am happy to work with you for Lucene as a contrib committer!
Uwe
