With another Lucene Eurocon successfully behind us (thanks Barcelona, you’ve been awesome!), it’s time to say hello to Vancouver for ApacheCon. I’ll leave it to others to fill in the blanks on the Barcelona conference other than to say that I am continually amazed by the vibrancy of the Lucene/Solr community and especially grateful to all the committers and contributors who take the time to show up and give talks about how they leverage …

At ApacheCon this week I presented “Rapid Prototyping with Solr”. This is the third time I’ve given a presentation with the same title. In the spirit of the rapid prototyping theme, each time I’ve created a new prototype just a day or so prior to presenting it. At Lucene EuroCon the prototype used attendee data, a treemap visualization, and a cute little Solr-powered “app” for picking attendees at random for the conference giveaways. For …

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. Both were well attended, despite the economy, showing once again the power of open source and the fact that people are still invested in search. (If you missed the training, see here for alternatives.)
During the conference, there were several talks on Lucene, …

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.

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.…
