Thanks Robert.

I'm a developer based in Cambridge, UK, and have been working on search eng=
ines for 10 years or so.  Up until a couple of years ago I was mainly using=
 closed-source implementations, and discovering lucene/solr was a breath of=
 fresh air (you can see the code!  you can fix bugs yourself!).  After fail=
ing to convince my employer to switch to open source, I decided to set out =
on my own, and now work as a consultant specialising in search and monitori=
ng software.

I divide my time between being coding and looking after my two daughters, a=
nd occasionally am allowed out to the pub.

Thanks for voting me on to the team - it's an honour and a privilege, and I=
 look forward to contributing as best I can.

Alan
