Subject: [MASSMAIL]Re: [ANNOUNCE] New Nutch committer and PMC - Mo Omer

Hello all,

First, and most importantly, I'd like to send out a thank you to Chris,
Sebastian, Lewis (all of whom I've 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 I'm happy to help where I can.

I'm a 26 year old Minneapolis MN, USA software engineer and generally
inquisitive person, who's 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).

Most of what I write/do for my day (Mithun) job are internal applications,
data warehousing, analytics systems/research, back-end APIs, etc. As I'm
the sole developer on our Analytics/Media team, there's 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 I'd first like to learn
as much as I can while helping out where I can.

Thank you again all,

Mo
