Hi - I understand that getting a package up and running can be fairly quick, but going over simple (then complex) examples really helps me fully understand what's happening. Remember those "perl by Example" books? I loved that approach to showing concretely what happens every step of the way. It probably seems dead simple once you've climbed the learning curve, I just haven't had the time committed to do that yet, especially in a space with people who could help me. Yes, it IS all about me. ;) D -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Gabriel Farrell Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 4:11 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] preconference proposals On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 02:47:42PM +0000, Jodi Schneider wrote: > If you'd be up for it Erik, I'd envision a basic session in the morning. > Some of us (like me) have never gotten Solr up and running. > > Then the afternoon could break off for an advanced session. > > Though I like Bess's idea, too!

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
