What's your view on the Future of Open Source?
In what has become an annual tradition at the Open Source Business Conference, Michael Skok of North Bridge Venture Partners will host a keynote panel discussion on the Future of Open Source. Dries Buytaert will be participating on the panel, in addition to Marten Mikos of Sun/MySQL, Ron Hovsepian of Novell, John Roberts of SugarCRM, and John Lilly of Mozilla-Firefox.
The panel will be discussing key trends in open source software centered on the results of a short online survey of OSBC attendees and members of key open source communities. This is a great opportunity for the Drupal community to register its opinion on open source trends at the link below.

Last year's survey results presentation are below. One of the hottest topics of conversation this year will likely be the impact the economy is having on open source technology. Specifically, whether enterprises are changing their practices around adoption and deployment of open source offerings based on changing economic realities.

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.
