# ElasticSearch? Isn't that a cloud service? **URL:** \ **Category:** Elasticsearch\ **Created:** [August 6, 2010, 8:00pm UTC](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elasticsearch-isnt-that-a-cloud-service/3194 "2010-08-06T20:00:57Z")\ **Posts on this page:** 7\ **Page:** 1

I went to a Lucene/Solr Meetup in San Francisco recently and at the end, when everybody makes their announcements, I got up and asked if anybody else had experience using ElasticSearch. After the announcements were done, I talked to a few people and most folks had the impression that ElasticSearch is a hosted search service (like IndexTank), including an new engineer at Twitter. Nobody seemed to know it was an open source project. Other people I spoke with had never heard of it but thought the idea was cool. Shay, I don't know where you are located but I highly encourage you to do one or more of the following: - Get out the the SF Bay Area for a Lucene Meetup and do a presentation for ElasticSearch. - Go to Boston for the Lucene conference After we deploy ElasticSearch in production (and I help with some of the documentation) I'll do a presentation at a Lucene meetup if you don't. 😉 ---

I call this generic products syndrome / problem: "the attack of the killer tomatoes", which even has an Arghhh! in the poster!. Arghhh!, you say tomato, I say an "open source, distributed, RESTful search engine that kicks some ass and chews bubble gum". Not terribly sure where people picked that up, though now that you mention that, mmmm... ;). In any case, I am not based in the bay area (located at Israel), but have myself already a set of things lined up next time I am there (not too sure when it will be though). In any case, we should meet up. If by chance there is a Lucene meetup, I would be happy to attend. I do try and get the "elasticsearch" gospel out as much as I can, but also relying on the good old power of open source and other people spreading the word as well. After all, I can only warp myself so many times... . So, it would be great if you can present elasticsearch, and I am here to help with the presentation or any questions that might arise during it. But other means, like blogging (yea, that archaic \>140 letters thingies), that \<=140 letters thingies, and other spred the word social shenanigans are welcomed. In any case, my next planned gig is at Devoxx, Belgium. I do plan to attend more of those when possible. More importantly, hoping other elasticsearch users can attend and present it. Clinton gave a kick ass presentation at the perl conference last friday. -shay.banon On Fri, Aug 6, 2010 at 11:00 PM, David Jensen [djensen47@gmail.com](mailto:djensen47@gmail.com) wrote: > I went to a Lucene/Solr Meetup in San Francisco recently and at the > end, when everybody makes their announcements, I got up and asked if > anybody else had experience using Elasticsearch.

Shay, I've suggested for Elasticsearch to be a topic at the next SF Bay Area Lucene/Solr Meetup on [Meetup.com](http://Meetup.com). I volunteered myself to give the presentation. We'll see what happens. General the format of the meetup is three 20-30 minute presentations. Do you already have a pre-made presentation slide-deck that I can start with? It would have to be fairly short 10-15 minutes. Plus I would want to do a demo of how quick and easy it is to get going.

Yea, those are the two presentations (the first one by me). I have the keynote presentation if you want source. I can also be available online while you give it if people ask interesting questions.

Shay, There will be interesting questions for certain. It appears that the meetup is only every 3 months so it may be November before the next one but I'll keep you and the mailing list posted.
