Hi, Today is the last day for the extended room block for the venue hotel for YAPC::NA. If you would like the negotiated rate, you really should book today. Please contact the hotel by calling 800-733-3211 to reach in-house reservations and leaving a voicemail message if necessary, or email reservation inquiries to reservations at hulsinghotels.com. -Chris _______________________________________________ yapc mailing list yapc at pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/yapc From peter at peknet.com Thu Jun 2 19:27:57 2011 From: peter at peknet.com (Peter Karman) Date: Thu, 02 Jun 2011 21:27:57 -0500 Subject: [Mpls-pm] Apache Lucy 0.1.0 released Message-ID: <4DE846AD.3060705@peknet.com> As some of you have heard me talk about Perl and search engines at Frozen Perl and elsewhere, I wanted to let readers of these lists know that Apache Lucy 0.1.0 was released today: http://s.apache.org/Qm0 Apache Lucy is the project formerly known as KinoSearch, now a podling in the Apache Incubator. Apache Lucy is a search engine library loosely based on Lucene. Version 0.1.0 has bindings for Perl.

Just wanted to encourage anybody who likes security or software development (ideally both!) to submit a paper for the OWASP AppSec USA 2011 software security conference here in Minneapolis being held September 22-23. It would be really great if we could get some high quality submissions in the Software Development Platform Tutorials and Software & Architecture Patterns for Security tracks from our solid local dev community. For the Software Development Platform Tutorials it really could be introductory to advanced. http://www.appsecusa.org/talks.html Also, I wanted to make you aware of training that will be available September 20-21. I know most of us use multiple languages and technologies, so hopefully there's something of interest in the mobile security, secure coding, penetration testing, and attack detection and response training offerings for those on the list. http://www.appsecusa.org/training.html Finally, if you're feeling up for a puzzle this weekend, you should check out this month's pre-conference challenge. The winner will get a free ticket to the OWASP AppSec USA 2011 talks September 22-23, 2011. http://www.appsecusa.org/ctf.html -- Adam Baso OWASP Minneapolis-St. Paul Chapter President OWASP MSP: Host to OWASP AppSec USA 2011 September 20-23 Training, Talks, CTF, Showroom, and More www.appsecusa.org @appsecusa, @owaspmsp From peter at peknet.com Sat Jun 11 18:12:23 2011 From: peter at peknet.com (Peter Karman) Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2011 20:12:23 -0500 Subject: [Mpls-pm] [Kc] Apache Lucy 0.1.0 released In-Reply-To: References: <4DE846AD.3060705@peknet.com> Message-ID: <4DF41277.1010701@peknet.com> David Nicol wrote on 6/8/11 10:59 AM: > Just for conversation's sake, anyone familiar enough with Lucy and with SQLite > FTSE to compare and contrast? Good topic for conversation, David. I've read over the SQLite full-text search docs[0] and off-the-cuff I'd say that there are pros/cons to both approaches. The architecture underlying both is basically the same: an inverted index of tokenized terms. Obviously if you want to provide search on top of an existing SQLite database, using the built-in FTS features are very convenient. If your text is mostly ASCII and you don't require custom tokenizing (or stemming beyond the supplied Porter stemmer), then SQLite is probably going to serve you well for small-to-medium projects. If you need to scale your search application beyond a few gigs of data, or your doc collection isn't already in a SQLite db, or you need i18n support (esp for stemming in multiple languages), then you're probably going to need an IR library like Lucy. First, it's a library, so you can customize your indexing and searching code to fit your particular application. Second, it's in Perl (which for this audience should be a win). Third, it provides very flexible tokenizing and stemming options (Lucy ships with Snowball support). Lucy is in the same camp as Lucene, Sphinx, Xapian, etc. It's for when you Get Serious about your search application.
