Get a scholarship to DrupalCon 2009 in Washington DC
I can hardly wait to go do DrupalCon 2009 in Washington DC. If you’re as excited about DrupalCon as I am, but are having a hard time finding the money you’d need to attend, perhaps you should apply for one of the 20 scholarships that are being awarded. Anybody in financial need can apply:
So who will these scholarships go to? People who are actively developing with Drupal, who would benefit from attending DrupalCon, and who are already helping the community.
The applications are being reviewed by myself and Drupal legend Károly Négyesi (aka chx). I’m proud to be able to help out with this process, just as I’m proud that the company I work for is a platinum sponsor of the DrupalCon. It makes me feel good to know that the money being raised by the DrupalCon will be used to reach out and help people attend who otherwise wouldn’t be able to. If your company isn’t already a DrupalCon sponsor, it’s not too late. You can contact the organizors online to become a sponsor and help bring Drupal to even more people.

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.
