[ANN][Meta] "Apache Solr popularizers" LinkedIn group

[Alexandre Rafalovitch <ar...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

( TL;DR: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=6713853 )

Based on - short :-] - Twitter discussion,  we have decided to have a
go at some sort of a group for Solr popularizers: people who are
teaching Solr, running meetups, building Solr examples, and writing
Solr books.

Basically, anybody whose goal is not just to learn Solr for themselves
but to also spread the sunny goodness message to others.

The current attempt at this conversation space is a private LinkedIn
group. Which obviously has some advantages and disadvantages. I
thought about Google and Yahoo groups, but feel they have even more
disadvantages. The group is private (for now) to see if it will foster
more frank discussion and maybe things like early slide sharing and
work-in-progress.

So, if you are popularizing Solr and feel you could benefit from a
community of other people struggling with the same meta-level
explanation issues, this is for you. Come and help us build that
community: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=6713853

Regards,
   Alex.
