January meetup
For now the format of the meetups is still to break into conversations and discuss whatever aspects of search technology interest us.
That usually encompases a fairly wide range of technology, Lucene, Solr, Xapian, Compass, etc. and a fairly wide range of perspectives, from code and open source contribution to search business, jobs, and consultation.

@Jeremy: I have done a number of projects using Lucene/Solr, and Lucene also played an important role in almost all past search socials. For me it would be very interesting to have a chat with someone who has hands-on experience with Compass so I hope we meet in January! ;-)

Hey all, Just found about you from the solr user newsgroup. Wish I had the time to come but such short notice and coming from the Scottish Borders don't help !!. If anyone has time I would love to ask a few Q's re solr.

Bruno AbitbolI met very skilled and helpful people. The atmosphere was pretty cool. The subjects discussed were focused on the search area, with sometimes very detailed and low level explanation.

I'm familiar with Compass within context of Grails. I have a beginner's knowledge of Lucene, Nutch and Solr and have looked into Hibernate Search a bit too. I'm about to begin reviewing Lucene in Action 2nd edition for Manning. Tika and Aperture in particular interests me. Has anyone else got a similar interest?
