: Is anyone willing to submit an introductory talk on Solr? I was thinking about submitting two talks... Novice: Solr Out of the Box Advanced: Solr Beyond the Box The first being an attempt at showcasing all of the features of Solr available without writing any code (just configuration and maybe some XSLT) ... loading data from CSV, dismax query parsing, facets, highlighting, date math, json output, etc., and any other cool features that get committed between now and then. I'll roabbly also talk about Flare (but that would mean needing to learn about Flare before November) The second would look at examples of how Solr can be customized without building the whole thing from scratch ... writing custom plugins, and embedding Solr in other applications. (the custom plugins part i think i can cover pretty well, but i'll need to pick the brains of people *doing* Solr embedding for the second half if the proposal is accepted) What do you guys think? -Hoss
Re: Call for Papers Opens for ApacheCon US 2007
Hi all, Erik Hatcher has shown me some of the abilities of Flare, I've been digging into it for a jobby job project, and I've done my first small Solr project which was adding PDF, Word, Excel, and Powerpoint parsing in the vein of the CSVRequestHandler code. (Patches to be forthcoming!) I was thinking about doing something on this as well. Is there enough room for multiple presentations? Can two people do a presentation? Chris, would you be interested in co-presenting? I've mostly been on the outside of the Lucene community, be much more active in some of the Jakarta projects, and then seduced away by Ruby for the past 18 months, but the possibilities of Solr and Flare have had me interested in getting involved in Apache again.

Re: Call for Papers Opens for ApacheCon US 2007
Sorry to be late to this game, but I already submitted two talks, one a longer tutorial on Flare, and one a regular session on Flare. I'd be happy to pair up with Eric Pugh as long as I get airfare and hotel covered I'm happy to go.
