Solr
I recently setup Apache Solr on a VPS for a side project of mine. It's easy to set up if you're not on shared hosting, and the search options it enables are way better than Drupal's stock search. I'd be happy to do a lightning (or maybe lightning+) talk on that.
By this time I will also have launched Listology, which I'd love to do a longer case-study type presentation on if anyone is interested.
Boost
Been busy improving boost. I could talk about it, what it does and where I see it going. Also a short lesson on why team work is a good idea.
going to miss the next few meetings
I'll miss the next few meetings because I'll be in Boston until September. I just took a job with Acquia, and I'll be telecommuting eventually, but I wanted to get some face time first. I'll be back after Drupalcon Paris, so I'll see you all at the September meeting!
Conrgatulations! We'll save

Book Raffle!
Palantir.net has donated a copy of Matt Butcher's book Drupal 6 Javascript and JQuery which I will be raffling off at the meeting next week by random drawing. It's a really excellent book, and I'm not just saying that because Matt is my co-worker!
I'll also be bringing some of the Programmer's and Zen/Theming reference cards we had at Drupalcon to the meeting, in case you missed out on them.
I totally want that

I think we need to give away or in some way raffle off the open bridge event registration this month too.

Anyone successfulyl configured Aegir going to be at the meeting
I've finally been able to get the childcare stars aligned so I'll be at the Thursday meeting. I'd love to chat w/ anyone who has successfully configured Aegir Hosting System. Seems like I can only get 80% of the way there. Also unless I can get a sales coffee lined up, I'll be at coworking as well.
Wow!
I hope that module works out, I had no idea anyone was doing that kind of integration - I'm very interested.
