Acquia selected as Finalist for 2008 MITX Technology Awards
Acquia has been selected as a finalist in the Collaboration and Social Networking category for the 2008 MITX Technology Awards. This is the fifth year MITX has offered the awards to recognize innovative companies and technologies in the New England region across nine categories:
- Analytics & Business Intelligence
- Collaboration & Social Networking
- Content Management & Search
- Data Management
- Data Protection
- Enterprise Technologies
- Marketing/Customer

The selection process included a wide-ranging questionnaire and then a 10 minute presentation to a panel of judges. Jay and Barry presented a slightly tweaked version of our Web 2.0 Expo Launch Pad pitch. And, despite some hardware glitches, the pitch went well.
Winners will be announced on June 3rd at the annual MITX awards dinner.

2010 has been an inflection point for the Acquia partner program. We are doing more business than ever with partners, including case studies with Palantir.net, Blink Reaction, and IBM Global Services.

It is that phase of my life! I'm just turning 30 in a month, working with Drupal for 7 years and just had my third Acquia anniversary a week ago. Time to look back and evaluate how things went, all the good and bad things; even better if the wisdom can be shared with others. This was part of my thinking when I submitted the session titled "Come for the software, stay for the community" for Drupalcon Copenhagen.

It sounded like a really simple request: "Is it easy to add a search filter for 'My posts'?". In other words, add a search result facet for posts by the current (logged in) user through the Apache Solr Search Integration module APIs?
But then the wheels start turning - we want not just one blind link, but a real facet link that tells us how many results we'll get. Also, if we are filtering by 'My posts' then we probably have an equal use case for the opposite filter 'Posts not by me'. So we really need a facet block with two links and facets counts.

I hope you win. Drupal is an
I hope you win. Drupal is an outstanding product and I'm sure Acquia will be a success. After having our site on a template provider that cost thousands of dollars, we switched to Drupal. I only wish I had made the switch a lot sooner.
When you apply for a contest
When you apply for a contest like this, do they get a sneak preview of Carbon? If so, I'm jealous, I can't wait to try it out!!
If not, and Acquia submits Drupal (core), how do they determine on whose behalf to award this to?
