So far it has been a great conference. I hda the opportunity to meet many interesting people, have many interesting discussions, among those the BOF of the text processing crowd that discussed details of the incubated Tika project, a content-extraction engine that can be used in search engines like Nutch, in ECM and document management servers and other tools. Once again I took the opportunity to get some code done with Jeremias by updating Batik's POM to the latest release which is among other things able to process the Tango Icons, so it will be possible soon to process icons using Cocoon and Batik on the fly to generate PNG or GIF buttons.

Friday, 2pm, I will give a 15-minutes-presentation in the fast feathers track about lessons learned integrating Cocoon, Jackrabbit and Solr, the Apache projects we have been involved most closely when implementing Mindquarry and I hope to see you there and share experiences.
