Drupal DevRoom at Fosdem 2010
FOSDEM is one of the great European tech conferences, held every year in Brussels. Two years ago I spoke there and introduced the Apache Solr module to the world. Dries and Gàbor introduced Acquia. So much has happened in those two years!
This year, on Sunday, February 7, I'll be back to once again talk about Apache Solr and state-of-the-art search techniques. There's a whole Drupal track, called the Drupal DevRoom, and plenty of other interesting sessions going on, too. If you can make it to Brussels for Fosdem I highly recommend it. It's full of that nitty-gritty hard-core geek stuff that makes open source software tick!
P.S.: The FOSDEM site uses Drupal, of course!

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.
