The year 2010 turns out to be quite busy in general, the spring happened fruitful at the conference in particular. Therefore to write to the blog on Habr regularly it turns out badly, but at least it would be desirable to share with a pack of news and links (already it is time!). Summary -
- 3 conferences have passed since the beginning of the year ( Confoo , MySQL UC , RIT ++ ) with reports about Sphinx, slides are available;
- during the month there will be another 2 ( DORS / CLUC , DevConf ), where reports and (attention, something new) masterclasses about the same Sphinx are scheduled;
- a month and a half ago, we started a (English-speaking) blog , trying to regularly write interesting things there, while it even turns out (I am very surprised);
- RT updates have reached the public release so much that they are not delaying the release; The SVN version is spinning in production in some places, and even almost does not fall (I am surprised even more);
- self-generated plugins for WordPress , Zend Framework (not ours).
Details under the cut!
About past conferences. Paul Reinheimer shared his
experience of using the Sphinx at Confoo '2010 , I talked about
project news over the past year on MySQL UC 2010 (the famous volcano tried to prevent me from returning, but then corrected and changed my mind), Maciej Dobzhanski compared
Sphinx against MySQL at RIT ++ 2010 , everything slides are available by reference. I especially recommend the latest presentation, informative.
About future conferences. On May 5-7, in Zagreb (Croatia) I will give two presentations and a master class on the Sphinx at DORS / CLUC 2010 (this is a combined local Croatian conference about open-source in general and for linux-users in particular; they say quite large). May 18 in Moscow (Russia), again, I will do a
master class on DevConf . By all estimates, in the masterclass format it should be possible to tell (or even show) much more than in a 30-45 minute report, so I invite everyone who is interested in doing an intelligent search.
About sphinxoblog.
He started . All new notes about any technical plan are ever to be translated and published here, but there is absolutely no time for that. So if I get overtaken with high-quality translations, I will be just glad.

About plugins. Literally (!) Of the third day, I was surprised to notice that the
Sphinx plugin for Wordpress (from widely known in narrow circles of Percona) has long been online. A bit earlier they sent a link to the
Sphinx plugin for Zend Framework . We ourselves do not use it yet, we cannot confidently praise (or scold), but maybe someone will come in handy.
And, in order to dilute any, essentially organizational, at least some technical information, a couple of words about RT updates.
They are plus or minus ... ready and working, although, of course, not without rough edges. You can test from the beginning of the year. At the moment, at least one combat installation is known. It is curious that it still does not work out how to drop it. Due to the presence of binlogs and COMMIT, there are concerns that it may not be possible to drop with data loss. Clearly, we regularly find and fix all sorts of bugs, but the public release has long been delayed not because of them, but for other, completely dull and ordinary reasons - another more priority work, adding debugging code, writing documentation, pre-release testing, etc.
So it goes. Watch the slides, go to conferences, read (or even help to translate) a blog, write feedback about RT updates :-)
