Federated Search with Drupal, SOLR, and React (AKA the Decoupled Ouroboros) by Matt Carmichael and Dan Montgomery

Our session will begin with a tour through a recent project developed by Palantir.net for the University of Michigan — bringing content from disparate sites (D7, D8, Wordpress) into a single index and then serve results out in a consistent manner, allowing users to search across all included properties. We’ll discuss how we got started with React, our process for hooking up to SOLR, and how we used Drupal to tie the whole thing together.

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: How Weightlifting Helped Me Accept My Place in Tech by Kristen Mayer

Weightlifting and tech. On the surface, these two things may not seem to have much in common, but as a woman trying to navigate both of these male-dominated spheres, I’ve often been intimidated and doubted whether I really belonged. In this session, I’ll look at the strategies that helped me overcome imposter syndrome in the gym, and my journey of applying them to my professional life. I hope that anyone attending this session will walk away feeling empowered about their position and skills within the tech community!
