Hi Make! Congrats!
I worked with OmniFind edition at IBM Jerusalem :-) ..., I heard about you
from my colleagues (Josemina, Yariv) and now met you here! Welcome!

Thanks Chris!
Here's a quick intro:
I now work at IBM, who has (generously: thank you!) sponsored my
contributions to Lucene/Solr for a long time now (like 5 years, wow!).
Before that I was co-founder of a startup called iPhrase Technologies,
selling enterprise search software; we didn't use Lucene but wanted
to. And we would have used Tika in a heartbeat if it had been around
back then!
Before that, long ago, in a galaxy far away, I got a PhD at MIT
(Computer science).
I've been impressed by Tika for quite some time, watching it from a
distance, using it here and there. I love how simple its API is, and
that basic usage can simply invoke the command-line tool. And
it's solving an incredibly important problem -- unlocking the text
inside the zillions of document formats we all use now.
Writing the Tika chapter in Lucene in Action 2nd Edition (replacing
the previous custom framework that was used for the first edition) was
great fun.
I'm happy to be on board and I'm looking forward to improving Tika.
It's all still very new to me so I will tread lightly...
