ANNOUNCE: Stump The Chump @ ApacheCon EU

[Chris Hostetter <ho...@fucit.org>]

Hey folks,

In 2 days, I'll be doing a "Stump The Chump" session at ApacheCon EU in 
Sinsheim, Germany

http://www.apachecon.eu/schedule/presentation/170/

If you aren't familiar with "Stump The Chump" it is a Q&A style session 
where I (the Chump) get put on the hot seat to answer tough / interesting 
/ unusual questions about Lucene & Solr -- live, on stage, in front of 
hundreds of people who are laughing at me, with judges who have all seen 
and thought about the questions in advance and get to mock me and make me 
look bad.

It's really a lot of fun.

Even if you won't be at the conference, you can still participate by 
emailing your challenging question to stump@lucene-eurocon.org. 
(Regardless of whether you already found a solution to a tough problem, 
you can still submit it and see what kind of creative solution I might 
come up with under pressure.)

Prizes will be awarded at the discretion of the judges, and video should 
be posted online at some point soon after the con -- more details and 
links to videos of past sessions are in my recent blog post(s)...
