As usual there’s several interesting events on the horizon this autumn: first up is an London Elasticsearch User Group Meetup on Monday September 9th, which will probably be shortly followed by a Cambridge Search Meetup once I have confirmed a venue – we’re hoping to include a talk on Solr & Hadoop.
November features Lucene Revolution, which this year is in Dublin – there are two days of training on 4th & 5th November followed by the conference itself on the 6th and 7th. We’re hoping to talk at this event if accepted (if you like, you can help us out by voting for our proposed topic “Turning Search upside down: using Lucene for very fast stored queries” which is based on some of our work for clients in the media monitoring sector). No fewer than four of the Flax team will be attending so we hope to catch up with you over a pint of Guinness there!
At the other end of November on the 27th is Search Solutions in London, a day of talks on all aspects of search hosted by the British Computer Society Information Retrieval Specialist Group. I’ll be running a training session the day before on open source search.
Do let us know of any other events in the area of search – we’re as ever very happy to publicise them.
