Stump The Chump: Austin Winners

Last week was another great Stump the Chump session at Lucene/Solr Revolution in Austin. After a nice weekend of playing tourist and eating great BBQ, today I’m back at my computer and happy to announce last weeks winners:

• Barani Bikshandi ($100 Amazon gift certificate)
• Carlos Eduardo Sponchiado (Sponch) ($50 Amazon gift certificate)
• Aditya Varun Chadha ($25 Amazon gift certificate)

I want to thank everyone who participated — either by sending in your questions, or by being there in person to heckle me. But I would especially like to thank the judges and our moderator Cassandra Targett, who had to do all the hard work preparing the questions.

Keep an eye on the Lucidworks YouTube page to see the video once it’s available. And if you can make it to Cambridge, MA next week, make sure to sign up for the October 28th Boston Lucene/Solr MeetUp and hear all about the winning questions, and how I think they stacked up over the past 5 years.
