Last year Telenet successfully migrated its knowledge base and business site to Drupal. As a member of the Ausy/DataFlow group I'm proud to announce that Telenet today launched its multisite search using Drupal.

We continued on the Apache Solr based solution we had already created for the knowledge base while Robert Douglass was hired to work on a Nutch/Solr implementation to crawl the (for now) non-Drupal based sites in the company's portfolio. This powerful combination results in a multilingual multisite search that features autocompletion, spell checking and file indexing.

Contributions were made to the following projects:

• Apache Solr Search Integration
• Apache Solr Attachments
• Apache Solr Autocomplete
• Apache Solr Multilingual
• Apache Solr Multisite Search
• Apache Solr Nodereference Extras

On March 15 and 16 I'll provide the follow-up training on the introductional Module Development course I gave during the Drupal Dev Days. Learn how to get custom functionality using Drupal’s hook system, as well as how to extend or alter contributed module functionality in this two-day Acquia Drupal Module Development training.

In the week-end of 4 to 6 February the first installment of the Drupal Developer Days will take place in Brussels. I'll provide an introductional training in Drupal 6 module development as an Acquia Training Partner for Ausy/DataFlow.

See you there!

On July 14, 15 and 16 I have the pleasure to provide the first two Acquia-powered training courses in Europe. First is the introductional "Drupal in a Day" training for everyone who wants to dive head first into Drupal to get to know the basics. This is followed by the two-day "Drupal for Site Builders" training that goes much deeper into specific modules like CCK, Views and Panels.

Be sure to join us!
