Before we start
Lucerne, December 30th 2009 – 2009 was the year of the 25th anniversary of breaking innovations in personal computing. Early 1984 two milestones were unfolded on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Europe was first with the launch of the 32-bit multitasking/multiwindowing Sinclair QL. 12 days later America saw the launch of the 32-bit GUI/multiwindowing Apple Macintosh. They both entered the field to compete with IBM's PC.
While the Mac did it in the long run and is a mainstream product in the present and future, the QL went into dust. Before leaving the field, the QL inspired many experts and influenced today's products in one way or another. Most prominent example is Linux, where its creator Linus Torvalds was a QL hacker back in the 80s. To learn more about all that please follow the full 25th anniversary story.
On July 1st 2009 it was announced here that the 25th anniversary of the QL & Mac will be celebrated with an international 2 days show in autumn 2009. The event was promoted in mailings-lists, news-groups, specialist magazines, YouTube and even on the radio.

In a nutshell
As one of the many anniversary activities the 'QL & Mac are 25' international event took place on Oct 31st/Nov 1st 2009 in the Verkehrshaus, Lucerne, Switzerland.
The Verkehrshaus in Lucerne is the Swiss Transport Museum (offsite-link).

Sessions
In the conference room a total of 8 sessions and talks covering 'QL & Mac early days', 'innovation & design then and now', 'current Mac OS X (Mac/iPhone), Windows, AMIGA and QL developments', ... and in the welcome session introductory keynotes by 'VIP' were held! Photos of the sessions are accessible here (set 2).All sessions have been filmed with a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ7 camera. The raw video footage needed some brush up (both audio and video noise reduction, audio volume increase) and a final cut. This took much more human and processing time than expected. All session videos have now been uploaded to YouTube for public audience. Enjoy more than 5 hours of video footage!

S1 | Welcome & Keynote This was much more than just welcome. Like a time traveller Urs has been introducing the QL community, the Verkehrshaus, the city of Lucerne, 1959, 1969, 1979, Sir Clive Sinclair, the early 80's in micro computing and finally 1984 - the year of the QL and Macintosh's launch - in particular. In introductory keynotes by 'VIP' Steve Jobs and Sir Clive Sinclair spread the word. Then Urs gave details on the event. Finally there was an outlook what's up NeXT for Apple, Sinclair, Microsoft and the QL community. | Urs König & 'VIP' | or 35 slides 3 playlists as used in the session (offsite-link). |
S2 | Apple Mac OS X, 'The Mac 'died' nine years ago!' A talk on the origins of the Mac, the NeXT and how they came together. Another topic is 'How to become a Mac Indie developer?' covering Mailplane, the Mac OS X application which brings Gmail to your Mac desktop. | Ruben Bakker | or 83 slides Playlist used in the session (offsite-link). |
S3 | Sinclair QL, 'the Mac that never was...' The story of how things started, developed, got launched and what happened to the innovations and innovators of both the QL and Mac. | Urs König | or 47 slides Playlist 'The QL story' related to the session (offsite-link). |

Lucerne Mac Os X
not yet available for download.QL projects for 2010
At the show two QL projects to be completed in 2010 were presented and discussed.Articles
Tony Firshman, Dilwyn Jones and Anton Preinsack have reported on the show in QL TodayMac Os Mojave
(V14I2), QUANTA (V26I6) and AMIGA FUTURE (Issue 82) magazines. You can download the AMIGA FUTURE article in both German and English on the QL 25th anniversary web & media coverage page.In QL Today magazine V14I3 Urs König presented in-depth some specific QL issues which were part of the show. Pictures which were used in those articles can be found here (set 3). As the magazines were laser printed in BW, high resolution colour pictures are helpful. The articles published in QL Today are not yet available online.
Coming 'soon' (in QL terms)
Update: All this can be found on QL IS 30 2014 - THE DISTRIBUTION which can be found in the Repository.
Personal summary
The show was just one - but the most time consuming - of my activities in the
'QL is 25' bash
. An international QL show like this was something I always wanted to do. Due to the change in my work/life balance in 2009 I was finally able to do it.
Overall I must say that I'm very happy with the happening.
BTW: On June 5th 2010 there was the 2010 international QL show in Prottes, Austria (near Vienna)! There's a QL shows picture gallery of many more QL shows from the 80's until today.

Apache Lucene is a free and open-sourcesearch enginesoftware library, originally written completely in Java by Doug Cutting. It is supported by the Apache Software Foundation and is released under the Apache Software License.
Lucene has been ported to other programming languages including Object Pascal, Perl, C#, C++, Python, Ruby and PHP.[2]
History[edit]
Doug Cutting originally wrote Lucene in 1999.[3] Lucene was his fifth search engine, having previously written two while at Xerox PARC, one at Apple, and a fourth at Excite.[4] It was initially available for download from its home at the SourceForge web site. It joined the Apache Software Foundation's Jakarta family of open-source Java products in September 2001 and became its own top-level Apache project in February 2005. The name Lucene is Doug Cutting's wife's middle name and her maternal grandmother's first name.[5]
Lucene formerly included a number of sub-projects, such as Lucene.NET, Mahout, Tika and Nutch. These three are now independent top-level projects.
In March 2010, the Apache Solr search server joined as a Lucene sub-project, merging the developer communities.
Mac Os Versions
Version 4.0 was released on October 12, 2012.[6]
In March 2021, Lucene changed its logo, and Apache Solr became a top level Apache project again, independant from Lucene.
Features and common use[edit]
While suitable for any application that requires full text indexing and searching capability, Lucene is recognized for its utility in the implementation of Internet search engines and local, single-site searching.[7][8]
Lucene includes a feature to perform a fuzzy search based on edit distance.[9]
Lucene has also been used to implement recommendation systems.[10] For example, Lucene's 'MoreLikeThis' Class can generate recommendations for similar documents. In a comparison of the term vector-based similarity approach of 'MoreLikeThis' with citation-based document similarity measures, such as co-citation and co-citation proximity analysis, Lucene's approach excelled at recommending documents with very similar structural characteristics and more narrow relatedness.[11] In contrast, citation-based document similarity measures tended to be more suitable for recommending more broadly related documents,[11] meaning citation-based approaches may be more suitable for generating serendipitous recommendations, as long as documents to be recommended contain in-text citations.
Lucene-based projects[edit]
Lucene itself is just an indexing and search library and does not contain crawling and HTML parsing functionality. However, several projects extend Lucene's capability:
- Apache Nutch – provides web crawling and HTML parsing[citation needed]
- Apache Solr – an enterprise search server
- Compass – the predecessor to Elasticsearch[12]
- CrateDB – open source, distributed SQL database built on Lucene[13]
- DocFetcher – a multiplatform desktop search application[citation needed]
- Elasticsearch – an enterprise search server released in 2010[14]
- Kinosearch – a search engine written in Perl and C[15] and a loose port of Lucene.[16] The Socialtext wiki software uses this search engine,[15] and so does the MojoMojo wiki.[17] It is also used by the Human Metabolome Database (HMDB)[18] and the Toxin and Toxin-Target Database (T3DB).[19]
- MongoDB Atlas Search - a cloud-native enterprise search application based on MongoDB and Apache Lucene
- Swiftype – an enterprise search startup based on Lucene
