Free DevCSI Event: Apache SOLR

Thursday, July 21st, 2011

A free one-day DevCSI/Sourcesense workshop which will provide a thorough introduction to SOLR will be held at the London Mathematical Society on Monday 15 August 2011. Further information and a booking form are available on the UKOLN Web site.

This workshop is an introductory tutorial on Apache Solr, an open source enterprise search engine with a restful Web interface. The event will be run by Sourcesense.

The tutorial will start by looking at basic searches, and go on to consider some more sophisticated queries such as highlighting, spellchecking, faceting, etc. The focus will then move to indexing and how to make use of the sample data within SOLR. It will also examine a small Java application to index sample content from Wikipedia.

Further details are available on the UKOLN Web site.

DevCSI Repository Hackathon/Challenge at Repository Fringe 2011

Friday, July 15th, 2011

DevCSI will be organising a free Repository Hackathon/Challenge at Repository Fringe this year between Wednesday 3 and Thursday 4 August 2011, in Edinburgh.

Its purpose is to encourage repository developers, repository managers and experts in the domain, many of whom are attending RepoFringe11, to come up with ideas, and then for some to work on these prototypes during a ‘hackathon’. The ideas/prototypes will be presented to an audience and the best ones will receive prizes.

We are looking for entries that reflect the conference theme this year, Repositories Building Bridges & Social Innovation.

Further information about the Hackathon is available. To book for Repository Fringe 2011, a booking form is also available.
