I would appreciate it if the various projects could do their part and
put up some promo text on their news section related to the Lucene
track at ApacheCon.
Below is some sample text, in Forrest format. I have applied this to
the main Lucene website and will do so for Mahout.

coming along for the ride! The Lucene community has planned two full
days of talks, plus a meetup and the usual bevy of training. With a
well-balanced mix of first time and veteran ApacheCon speakers, the <a
