Hi everyone,

I'm an independent software developer based in Kraków, Poland. I've been
working for more than 5 years now for Aduna and DFKI as a maintainer of
Aperture Framework, a project which started in 2005 whose goals turned
out to overlap with Tika's (which started sometime in 2007 afair).
Hence, I've been following Tika development almost since the beginning.

In recent months, Tika has achieved a level of quality (1.0!!!) which
made me reconsider the feasibility of maintaining our own, similar
components in Aperture. That's why I got involved more, started posting
issues, and now I got invited to become a committer. Thanks very much
for the invitation. I'll do my best to do more good than harm :).

At the moment I'm mostly interested in media type detection with a clear
short-term goal to fix all the regressions i.e. things which the old
Aperture MagicMimeTypeIdentifier could detect, but the new
TikaMimeTypeIdentifier (Aperture interface - tika implementation) can't.

In a longer term I'll be slowly migrating the apps I work on to use Tika
parsers. They can't just be "switched" to Tika. This will be a slow,
gradual process with careful regression testing. I think it's inevitable
though, how many POI-based Word parsers does the world need?
