There are three possibilities for the venue---Dilli Haat, Howzzat (the Gurgaon micro-brewery), and JNU. If you are interested in Solr, and/or Python, please vote for your preference at http://www.snappoll.com/poll/339555.php by Wed. People interested in other FOSS areas are also most welcome.

Re: [ilugd] Calling all Apache Solr/open-source search engine users in Delhi/NCR
Hi, Thank you for all the responses. It seems that there is some interest in the area. We can go ahead, and meet up, probably along with a ILUG-Delhi meeting. For the people who proposed meeting in Oct., we can have another one then. So, I would like to ask for responses to two questions for the meeting: * When? The coming weekend (27th/28th) should work, but I might be out of town. Will know by Tue. or so. * Where? Choices are Delhi (probably JNU), or Gurgaon (a company there for whom we are doing some Solr work have volunteered their premises, but I would have to check on whether these are available on the weekend). As a plus point (for some), the office is right across the highway from the Howzzat micro-brewery.

Hey Seeing as how search has now become an integral part of many websites, and is among the most interesting areas of still-emerging technologies, at least IMHO, I think that it would be interesting if we could have a meet-up of people in the Delhi/NCR region who are interested in this area. Great ! I am in. Please follow up to this message, ideally with a brief description of any work that you have done in this area. Hopefully we can arrange a meeting for this weekend, else for the next. Next week end would be much better . - Ankur Saxena ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

Hopefully we can arrange a meeting for this weekend, else for the next. I am not usually in the target geographic area normally, but will be there for a few days in late October this year. A bit far away still. I'm quite keen on 'search' as a whole and language/trending in fulltext as a specific niche. Have worked with a dozen odd commercial offerings and atleast six different open source fulltext engines. Presently working on a solr based system resource trending plugin for collectd ( mostly because I am lazy and dont want to write either the rrd or UI components myself. - KB ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

This sounds very interesting! I've built a few search centric websites, one of which (indianlawexpert.com) was non commercial and free (as in beer). It seemed fairly promising before the forums were heavily hit by spam and I had to shut down the search engine as I switched providers. I stopped working on the project once I discovered indiankanoon.org (which is excellent). I'd love to revive the project with some help from the community. Sadly, I won't be able to be in Delhi before October so if there are any meetings around that time, I'd love to attend. -- Anupam ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
