SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwire - February 11, 2011) - Lucid Imagination, the commercial company behind Apache Solr/Lucene search technology, is pleased to announce its call for participation in the second annual Lucene Revolution conference, scheduled for May 25-26, 2011 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Registration for the event also opens today, for both the two-day conference and packages including two days of Lucene, Solr, and LucidWorks Enterprise training preceding the conference. As a special bonus, the first 100 registrants will each get a ticket and transportation to see the World Series champion San Francisco Giants on May 24.
Adoption of Solr/Lucene continues to accelerate as organizations in e-commerce, government, research, media, telecommunications, Web 2.0, and more discover the power and economic benefits of using the open source solution, which makes it easy for end users to search massive information stores and quickly find the information they need.
Building on the success of last year's conference, Lucene Revolution 2011 will focus on the disruptive changes taking place as a result of the power and economics of Solr/Lucene. Last year, more than 300 attendees witnessed nearly 50 speakers from organizations like Cisco, IBM, IDC, LinkedIn, Salesforce.com, the Smithsonian Institute, and Twitter share best practices and case studies related to the rise of open source search as a disruptive force for innovation and collaboration.
