Chris Male is scheduled to present a seminar about:
Lucene
School of Engineering and Computer Science Seminar
Abstract:
The Enterprise Search field has been long dominated by commercial proprietary applications.
However in the last 2-4 years, the Java open source information retrieval library Apache Lucene, and its ecosystem of applications, have begun to stake their claim. The most popular application, Apache Solr, a complete RESTful search service, has gained a large install base among companies like Disney, AOL and Netflix.

Stratus and Skinning in Flex 4
After the Xmas break, we're all set to go for another year of exciting Flash Platform stuff from Adobe. 2010 will be the year of the release of Flex 4, AIR 2.0 and CS5 and there are quite a few interesting things to look into.
We're going to start this process with two 30 min introductory sessions:
- Introduction in Stratus (Ross Phillips)
Stratus: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/stratus/
- The basics of skinning and styling in Flex 4 (Kai Koenig)

(Official) Wellingtonista (unofficial) Webstock Warm-Up
WHERE: Hashigo Zake
Come meet people in relaxed beer-friendly surroundings before the conference proper begins, and/or solidify friendships & contacts you've made during the workshops. Non-Webstock-attendees are welcome, but may feel quite sad that they're missing out.
Thanks to the lovely Dominic at Hashigo Zake there will be great beer specials available on the night, and as always, the all-important free wifi, and perhaps some other treats as well.
I should probably also make it perfectly clear that we're friends & fans of Webstock but not officially affiliated.
