Hi Jukka,
I'm interested. I know general@ is the place for this conversation,
but we'd likely get more traction on java-user or solr-user. Not sure
how to proceed.

Hi,
Would there be interest for a Lucene Meetup during ApacheCon EU next
month? See [1] for the general concept for meetup events. The event
would essentially be a bigger and more organized BoF.
It would be possible to organize something like that either on Monday
or Tuesday evening (22nd or 23rd March), but we'd need enough
interested attendees (> 20-30) and some sponsors (2-3) to make the
event happen. See [2], [3] and [4] for examples of the plans other
projects are making.
The BoF format has worked fine for Lucene in past ApacheCons, and
we'll likely have a BoF in Amsterdam as well. But if enough people
feel that there would be value in extending the BoF to a full Meetup,
then I'd be willing to help organize something like that.
