I'm interested presenting something Solr+library related at c4l10. I'm soliciting ideas from the community on what angle makes the most sense. At first I was thinking a regular conference talk proposal, but perhaps a preconference session would be better. I could be game for a half day session. It could be either an introductory Solr class, get up and running with Solr (+ Blacklight, of course). Or maybe a more advanced session on topics like leveraging dismax, Solr performance and scalability tuning, and so on, or maybe a freer form Solr hackathon session where I'd be there to help with hurdles or answer questions. Thoughts? Suggestions? Anything I can do to help the library world with Solr is fair game - let me know. Thanks, Erik On Nov 9, 2009, at 9:55 PM, Kevin S.
