Welcome the newest Mahouts!

I am pleased to announce that the Lucene PMC has voted to add Deneche  
Abdelhakim, Robin Anil and David Hall as Mahout committers.  Deneche,  
Robin and David have all made significant contributions to Mahout in  
regards to classification, clustering, evolutionary programming and  
general usage and utilities.  Furthermore, all three are or have been  
pursuing studies in machine learning at University, so we look for  
more great things as well!

I hope you will join me in extending them a warm welcome.  I know I  
look forward to working with them and continuing to build on Mahout's  
capabilities on our way to a 1.0 release.

Also, it is customary that each new committer take the time to  
introduce themselves on the mailing list with a brief bio/background  
so we can all better get to know you.

Finally, if you're interested in knowing more about what's involved in  
becoming a committer or would simply like to contribute to Mahout, see http://cwiki.apache.org/MAHOUT/howtocontribute.html 
  and http://cwiki.apache.org/MAHOUT/howtobecomeacommitter.html.

Congrats to Deneche, Robin and David!

-Grant

Congratulations and a warm welcome to you all from me as well. Looking
forward to working together with you.

I'm expecting to work on Discrete Tomography, probably reconstruction algorithms. But the final decision isn't not mine, so I may end up working on something else =P

Can you tell more on what you will be working on, which problems you
are trying to solve?

Hope you'll enjoy your time here.

Got my Apache account yesterday 8D

being a coder I always find it different to write other things than code =P, so my biography will probably be weird:

I am an algerian PhD student, I'm expecting to use machine learning algorithms (probably evolutionary computing) and distributed computing (mahout? maybe). During my master I worked on Artificial Immune Systems applied to pattern recognition.
I like coding, mainly in Java, but also in C# (although being at pro-noob level in C#).
The past two years I learned a lot with mahout's community, and I'm looking forward to learn much more.
