This is a great oportunity to showcase how you use Lucene/Solr, or help
teach people about features of Lucene/Solr that you think folks might
not know enough about or fully appreciate.
All levels of talks are welcome -- you don't have to be a Lucene/Solr
expert to submit a proposal. Talks targeted at entry level users, and
talks by novice users about their experiences are frequently in high
demand.
For more information, and advice on how to prepare a great talk, please
see the CFP webpage...
