Join us in one week for a search engine hack night!

We'll have an hour of short talks on search and various search
engines, followed by more informal discussion and hacking. It will be
a perfect time to add search to your app, try out a new search engine
and ask questions. We'll have a Ruby focus, but plenty to interest
non-Ruby developers.

I will present:
"An Introduction to ElasticSearch"

Pat Allen, creator of Thinking Sphinx and Flying Sphinx, will discuss:
"Full-text search with Sphinx"

Florian Hanke, creator of the Picky search engine, will give us:
"A peek into search engines / Picky: Ruby, Fast, Flexible (pick three)"

And Tal Rotbart, founder of SpringSense, will give a lightening talk on:
"Meaning Based Search with Solr"

Time:
6pm for a 6:30 start
Monday 29th August

Location:
Level 1, 41 Stewart St
Richmond, VIC 3121
Map: http://bit.ly/oM690q

Call: 0403 899 534 if you have any questions on the night.

RSVP: not required, but appreciated.

Cheers,
Chris
