It’s that time of year, so I thought I would take a look back at the year that was for the Lucene Ecosystem and maybe look ahead just a little bit too.

Another year, another successful ApacheCon Europe, at least as far as Lucene, Solr and I are concerned. This year, like last, Erik Hatcher and I had trainings on Lucene and Solr.

Just a reminder that Erik and Grant are offering Lucene and Solr training at ApacheCon Europe next week. Grant’s class is a 2-day hands-on training on Lucene designed to get you up and working with Lucene and provide information about where to go next. Erik’s class is a 1-day session on getting up and running with Solr.
Also, note both Erik and I will be at the Lucene meetup on Tuesday night!

LuceneMeetupMarch2009 – Lucene-java Wiki.
Lucene users (Solr, Nutch, Mahout, Tika, etc.) are all invited to attend a Lucene Meetup on March 24th in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Looks like Lucene creator Doug Cutting will be there, as well as some of the other Lucene committers. I always like these informal gatherings, as they are a great way to share ideas and meet fellow coders.
