The Linux Users' Group of Davis (LUGOD) will be holding the following meeting:
Monday September 16, 2013 7:00pm - 9:00pm Presentation: "Building a new web-scale search engine" with Greg Lindahl, CTO and founder of blekko Everyone knows that it's impossible to build a new search engine from scratch, and they're pretty much correct. Come and hear how blekko ( http://www.blekko.com/ ) did it -- a sordid tale involving a lot of VC money, open source, perl, and a digression into how difficult it is to produce good results for programming queries. After a detour through privacy and open data, our guest speaker will finish by mercilessly questioning the audience about their search engine habits. About the Speaker: Greg is a supercomputing guy, and has been using Linux since 1995. In 1999 he was the technical lead on the first US federal supercomputing procurement to be won by a Linux cluster. In 2002 he was a founder at PathScale, and was the architect of an InfiniBand networking endpoint that Intel is about to bake into their high-end Xeon CPUs. In 2007, he became CTO and founder at blekko.
