[Search-l] Oreilly OSCON next month!

[jer]

A group of us are going to be gathering to talk about search at OSCON  
in Portland next month, July 23-27.  There's currently four talks  
related to search, and I'm going to host a BOF on either Wednesday or  
Thursday night as an open forum to discuss anything related to open  
source search.

Here's the talks:

I'm really looking forward to it, this is going to be the first real  
gathering for our group and everyone is encouraged to attend.  The  
BOFs are free as well in case you're not interested in the rest of  
the conference and just want to come for that part.

There's a number of really fun announcements happening either before  
or at OSCON that should make for some lively discussions as well,  
*grin*.
