Hi, The Lucene project is planning to organize a Lucene Meetup event during the ApacheCon Europe [1] in Amsterdam. The Meetup is a relaxed event whose purpose is to bring users and developers together to exchange ideas and experience on Lucene projects and related topics. See [2] for more information on the Meetup concept.
The event is free for everyone to attend and comes with some drinks and snacks. But we can only make the event happen if we find enough attendees and a few sponsor companies. To better estimate the amount of potential attendees, please sign up on the following wiki page if you're interested: http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/LuceneMeetupMarch2009 The program of the Lucene Meetup will consist of discussions and short presentations. Everyone is welcome to present what they are or would like to be doing with Lucene projects. Even a five-minute summary is fine. Please add your ideas to the wiki page.
