Mass Email sent to every Apache committer I know, from
some dude i've never heard of.

Subject: Recommender Systems
Dear Chris,
Hello. My name is SOME DUDE and I am tasked with identifying all
recommendation-producing systems currently in use in industry. To
this end I was hoping that you would be available to tell me about
the companies you know that employ such systems. Are you available
sometime to give me a few suggestions and tips?
Best,
DUDE
