Fascinated by the “craft” of software development, Eric Pugh has been heavily involved in the open source world as a developer, committer, and user for the past 8 years. He is a member of the Apache Software Foundation and lately has been mulling over how we move from the read/write web to the read/write/share web. In commercial, intel, and government IT, he has helped European and American companies develop coherent strategies for embracing open source software. Eric co-authored Apache Solr 3 Enterprise Search Server, the book on Solr and is currently implementing Solr in a big data environment.
