The preconfs should be as inclusive as possible, but I'm wondering if the Solr session might be more beneficial if we dive into the particulars right off the bat in the morning. There are only a few steps to get Solr up and running -- it's in the configuration for our custom needs that the advice of a certain Mr. Hatcher can really be helpful. You're right, though, that the NGC thing sounds more like a BOF session. I'd support that in order to attend a full preconf day of Solr. Gabriel
