Our CEO, @nknize Nicholas Knize, Ph.D., is speaking today at @TheASF’s Community Over Code in Minneapolis!

🎤 Forking for Freedom: What Forks & Sporks like OpenSearch Teach Us About Open Source
See you there!

Me, every time I see Big Cloud slap a “community” label on something they control:
#OpenSource #search #foss #searchAI #AI
How do we, the startup community, tell big cloud vendors (like Amazon) that vendor-controlled “open source” isn’t acceptable?
@nknize (creator of OpenSearch) just gave a 🔥 talk on what’s next.

I'll talk good, bad, ugly of creating OpenSearch. From PR #1, drama ensued. My journey, while rocky, paved the way for other forks & taught hard lessons re: Corporate interests in Open Source. Come hear it all!

It appears @NoradSanta tracker might have some slight miscalculations. According to their tracker, Santa arrives in Brazil around 9:20pm local time. Our tracker still has him in Portugal at 12:20am local time, which seems to track his flight plan better.

Folks, I've just received intel from the experts at @NoradSanta that Santa Claus is on his way!
ALT President Biden and First Lady participate in the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Santa tracking calls with children and families across the country.

The signal speaks for itself. 5 days, 1 dev and we were upgraded to Lucene 10. 2 days later and we were first to market. @lucenia is moving at lightning speed. Reach out if you're interested in joining. No RTO policy here - fully remote. 😉 Lots of disruption coming.
A few days effort & @LuceniaIO is ready w/ Lucene 10. Big thanks to the RMs for their efforts. While this release brings useful incremental improvements for Pojo vector w/ SIMD, our native hybrid vector search shines brighter, delivering significant performance gains. #opensource

Unconventional? IMHO, this is just good leadership 101. I've never liked 1:1s. A quick check in is good, but the ROI for a recurring 1:1 is what, 0.01% at best? Seek to maximize your clock's ROI. I will forever be a student of this skill.
