Apache Lucene Meetups in Munich and Frankfurt

Apache Lucene and Solr are projects that are actively used and developed around the world. Getting together in person locally is a great way to build community. On distributed projects, though, reaching out to local communities can be a bit of a challenge. Recently Michael Bohlig from Lucid Imagination approached the Berlin Buzzwords team about helping out with their German "Solr Summit" meetups, and we are happy to help get the word out on our blog.

Announcing our keynote speakers

We are both - very happy and proud to introduce the Berlin Buzzwords keynote speakers to you today. Being focussed on scalable search-, data analysis- and storage systems it is a great honor to have two very influential developers and project leads on our speakers' list:

Ted Dunning is the Chief Application Architect at MapR Technologies. Prior to MapR, he was Senior Technology Advisor at DeepDyve, chief architect behind the MusicMatch, (now Yahoo Music) management and recommendation system. Ted is actively contributing to several Apache open source projects, including Hadoop and Mahout.

Shiny new Twitter handle #berlinbuzzwords

I am glad to inform you that Berllin Buzzwords finally has a shiny new Twitter handle that matches our name. Now also our Twitter feed should be easy to find for guests and is consistent with out site.

There is no need for you to change your followers' settings as we have simply given the existing account a new nick name. Thanks to #klimpong for pointing out this possibility.
