After careful consideration, Patrick Force is the recipient of this year's Angel Fund For Code4Lib award.

Patrick is employed at Columbia University in the Center for Digital Research and Scholarship. Solr has played a large part in his work, and he is interested in learning more about it from the Code4Lib community. He has started learning about CouchDB and wants to learn more about how it compares to standard relational models. This will be his first Code4Lib conference and he is excited about participating in our open and, in his words, "forward-thinking group of people."

Patrick, welcome. Congratulations.
