Fellow Optarian Sean Creeley has released a Django-Solr integration as an open source project hosted at Google Code. Django is a Python-based web framework. Apache Solr is essentially an XML and JSON API that sits on top of Apache Lucene.
Sean’s also working on our Django-Alfresco integration. I’m not sure how this project jumped in front of that one. Guess I need to take Sean out for a beer and see if I can’t influence the roadmap a bit. (Half-kidding).
If you want to see the Django-Solr stuff in action, take a look at Sean’s blog. It’s built using Django and he’s got a live example that shows the Solr integration in action.
You can expect several new Optaros-sponsored open source projects to become available throughout the year so stay tuned.
You shouldn’t have posted that, not writing anymore code till beers are had.
It’s next on the list, stay tuned.
If you’re in Boston today at HQ, hit the fridge. There’s plenty left from last week. So code on!
I anxiously await the Django-Alfresco spawn of screeley!
We’ll be launching our own version of that rocket in a couple weeks thanks to the sound launching-pad of code and documentation created by our good friends at Optaros. So far, so good as we prepare to unleash open-source on our company. If only I had root access…
I think I should ask Sean to do some more mod_python compiling on Solaris for me. He really enjoys that sort of thing I hear.
