Acquia Upgrade Team: Mission Copenhagen
Acquia documentation agent Jam* and I will be heading to Denmark this weekend where we'll be geeking out with Scandanavian Drupallers at the first ever DrupalCamp Copenhagen. You will recognize us by our Acquia shirts and our inability to speak Danish. Our mission is to help you upgrade your Drupal 4 or 5 sites to Drupal 6. We will come armed with Jam's upcoming migration guide (you will find this in our download section soon, as an appendix to the freely available Getting Started Guide), and a slew of tips, tricks and tools that will help you finally free yourself (and your site) from the Ghost of Drupal Past. Come with a copy of your site on your laptop and we will do our best to send you home with a shiny new Drupal 6 site.
In addition to kicking Drupal 4 and 5's butts, I will be giving talks on ApacheSolr, Acquia Drupal and the Acquia Network, and document publishing using Drupal + DocBook XML. Jam will be there to give insight as to how Acquia's documentation writing process works, and to show off the newly finished migration guide that he's been working on.

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.

Particularly, I'm quite interested to see the Apache Solr talk. I've been wanting to see that for a while, but there was something else in the way in Szeged :)

Kris, I'd say there's a good chance we'd do something like this in DC (assuming the Danes don't wear us out ;)
We'll also be available for your upgrading pleasure at DrupalCamp Cologne, on the 17th and 18th of January, 2009: http://drupalcamp.de/

acquia_getting_started_1-0_ISR_02.pdf does not show any information about 5->6 migration. Is this the file you are referring to?
thanks!
