Hey everyone, Many may know me, in the words of Will Hayes, as "Mr. Relevance". I'm the author of the book Relevant Search, and prolific blogge <http://o19s.com/doug>r about all things Solr relevance.
I want to share I'll be running a Solr 'Think Like a Relevance Engineer' course Sept 25 and 26 <https://opensourceconnections.com/blog/2018/09/25/think-like-relevance-training/>. It's a great way to learn to build intelligent, relevant Solr search experiences with topics ranging from measuring search quality, to taxonomy-based semantic search, to introducing learning to rank. It's also a chance to just hang out with our team (and maybe if we can convince some Lucidworks folks ;) ) in Charlottesville in beautiful autumn near the Blue Ridge mountains. We had a succesful training course mixing open source Solr and Elasticsearch in early July. Based on feedback, we decided to focus the content of our course to go deep on one search engine. Some pics here :) https://twitter.com/softwaredoug/status/1017438551464701953 (if you'd like this course in Elasticsearch, please let me know and we may schedule it with enough interest) Hope to see you there -Doug -- CTO, OpenSource Connections Author, Relevant Search http://o19s.com/doug
