Hi all, A few of us have been discussing whether we should have a Xapian social gathering of some kind. The current idea is meeting up in a pub in London some time in autumn for drinks and food. However all of this really depends on who might be able to come! It would be a chance to meet other Xapian enthusiasts in an informal social setting and talk about all things search-related (and probably a lot of things that aren't). If you're interested, please reply and say so, if not please say why! Those of us who are UK-based might be able to help those who aren't with transport and accomodation queries. Cheers Charlie Lemur Consulting

Lin, Fabrice and other Xapians ... I am on Rocling Conference at National Taiwan University. But I just found out that the Zigi Zaga pub that we suppose to meet is closed on Sundays. Therefore we will meet on Sunday September 9, 2007 inside in the Hayat hotel buffet at 6:00pm to celebrate Xapian anniversary. See you there ... Kevin Duraj SMS: +1 (310) 774-1948 On 7/26/07, ? ??? ?
