February Meeting Follow-up
Posted by melriffe, Tue Feb 10 21:49:00 UTC 2009
Summary
Erik Hatcher, of Lucid Imagination, came all the way from Charlottesville to school us on some Solr and Lucene. He even did some live coding!
It seemed a number of people’s interest was piqued given the nature of their questions. Even though not many people are currently using Solr, I feel after Erik’s talk they’re thinking about how easy it is to integrate into their app.
Attendance
Did we have the largest turn out? Definitely for this year! We had a total 17 people at tonight’s meeting; 7 from Cville (this includes Erik). You guys Rock! We had 6 brand new faces attend. Definitely keep spreading the word.
I would also encourage you to make suggestions on how we can serve your Ruby needs. Remember we have the mailing list and the IRC channel in which to post your questions and suggestions.

Next Meeting
Be sure to come out next month (10 Mar) when we’ll have two speakers: Erlang, ScrumPad. I’ll post additional information in a separate posting.
Announcement
Last but definitely not least I want to say something about tonight’s sponsor: Engine Yard. They were kind enough to pay for this month’s dinner and provide t-shirts for give away. They’re also going to pick up March’s food bill and more t-shirts will be given away.
