Solr presentation slides available

Andrew — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 14:01:08 +0000

Tomorrow I’m giving a London BioGeeks talk about Solr, the Lucene-based search engine we’re using at CATH, and soon Smesh too.

The slides are available here (PDF, 500KB).

If you’re in London, come along, everyone’s welcome. Details here. We also have Manuel Corpas on KaryoDAS, and Phil Dawes on Git. And beer afterwards.

More live gigs!

Couple of upcoming events I’ll be going to…

1. Data Integration in the Life Sciences (DILS 2009) in Manchester next month, with a poster and abstract about FuncNet.

2. EMBL-EBI/ENFIN 2009 annual forum for small-medium enterprises (SMEs), in Vienna in September, with a half-hour talk on the same subject.

No ISMB for me this year, not economically justifiable without a speaking spot.

Bioinformatics in the pub. Free as in free beer…

Pub meet-up for bioinformaticians / technophile biologists at:

The Miller pub, near Guy’s Hospital (London Bridge) on Wednesday 27th May from 6pm onwards.

This first meeting will just be a social event and chance to chat other bio-geeks but if there’s enough interest then we might organise some more technical events in the future (topic suggestions welcome).

Feel free to tell anyone you think might be interested. If you want to come you can just turn up, but it would be helpful if you let me or Cass know you’re coming. She’s found a recruitment agency who are interested in sponsoring the event (probably in the form of beer and food) so it would be useful to have an idea of numbers.
