Yea I just submitted my Drupalcon San Franciso 2010 session now I have to wait to see if it's worthy of a talk fingers crossed
Here are the details and the Drupal Con session submission link just in case you where wanting to vote for it on Feb 16th, 2010:
Tilte: How to build a Jobs Aggregation Search Engine with Nutch, Apache Solr and Views 3 in about an hour
Session: Audience Experience: Advanced, Expert
Session: Audience Industry: Education, Library, Media
Session: Tags: Nutch, Apache Solr, Views 3, Apache Solr Views
Details:
Nutch is an open web crawler that lets you do fine grained or Internet wide web crawling. In this session I will introduce you to the Drupal Nutch module, which will help with the setup and control of your crawls. We will combine this with some of the new features in the Apache Solr, Views 3 and Apache Solr views to create hybrid search engine vertical that interleaves your content with supporting web content.
The Agenda will be:
1. An introduction to the Apache Nutch crawler
2. An introduction to the Features of the Drupal Nutch module
3. Technical Design decisions on combining crawled data with your Drupal data in Apache Solr
4. Bringing it all together with a demo of a jobs aggregation search engine
5. Questions

This sounds awesome!
Hope you don't run out of time - sounds like a lot to get through.
Does "about an hour" mean that from a vanilla install of Drupal (plus the required modules) and SOLR/NUTCH we'll see a site that aggregates the content from several other sites, built from scratch and fully functional within an hour?
If I understand this correctly, what you're going to be showing would be appropriate for any situation where I may wish to incorporate 3rd party content into my site without the content owner having to do any work on their end?
Will your demo include a means of intelligently surfacing this 3rd party content alongside relevant locally stored content? facets? or is the whole site going to consist solely of 3rd party content searchable by keyword?

Hi Mika,
My intention is cover everything you've mentioned in the hour (if I get chosen),my challenge is going to be not spreading the talk and demo to thin on detail as to not cover things sufficiently to be meaningful. The demo will include a combination of 3rd party and Drupal content.
Regards,
David Stuart
