Wow, thank you all so much, and thank you to the PMC! I am super excited to take on this new responsibility as a Solr committer. I appreciate the chance to keep contributing to Solr and its community.
A short bio. Solr has been the heart of SuperSearch at MyHeritage since 2012. I joined in 2017, and today it serves search over about 60B documents and keeps growing. Solr is not only my job, it is my passion. Along the way: a migration to AWS in 2021, an upgrade from 5.3.1 to 9.1.0 in 2022, before AI :) In June 2026 I made my first contribution to a major open-source project, Solr: I came with a proposal to upgrade Gradle, and since then I have opened almost 100 PRs here, so now you know how to reach me if there is any issue with them :) I live in Kyiv, I do triathlon, and I contribute to Solr :) Cheers, Serhiy On Fri, 13 Nov 2026 at 13:54, Alessandro Benedetti <[email protected]> wrote: > Welcome on board! > > -------------------------- > *Alessandro Benedetti* > Director @ Sease Ltd. > *Apache Lucene/Solr Committer* > *Apache Solr Chair of PMC* > > e-mail: [email protected] > > > *Sease* - Information Retrieval Applied > Consulting | Training | Open Source > > Website: Sease.io <http://sease.io/> > LinkedIn <https://linkedin.com/company/sease-ltd> | Twitter > <https://twitter.com/seaseltd> | Youtube > <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDx86ZKLYNpI3gzMercM7BQ> | Github > <https://github.com/seaseltd> > > > On Fri, 13 Nov 2026 at 00:02, Jan Høydahl via dev <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Solr has invited > > Serhiy Bzhezytskyy to become a committer, and we are pleased to > > announce that Serhiy has accepted! > > > > Serhiy, the tradition is that new committers introduce themselves > > with a brief bio. > > > > Congratulations and welcome! > > > > Jan > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > > > >
