Curious

Gábor Hojtsy just had a session a year ago introducing http://localize.drupal.org/ and its a fast growing member of the drupal.org site family ever since. It got the new redesigned theme second (after the Drupal Association) and its features and usability is continually expanded and reviewed.

In this session we'd like to take you to backstage showing how localizing Drupal the software works and how you can plug in your modules and themes to be localizable as well. What's supported on drupal.org and how can you localize your own software you built in-house?

If you're looking for love, you looking in all the wrong places. If you're looking for a good geeky time, expanding your Drupal knowledge and making drinking buddies (business partners) you are absolutely in the right place.

We'll be doing rotating pairs, speed dating style with some other surprises thrown in.
Expect to:

• Relax
• Make friends
• Learn something

Session goal: The goal of this session is to create informative visuals to assist in Drupal adoption.

Introduction: There is a presentation renaissance happening, and people are leaving the old tired bullet points behind. But there is a lack of useful visuals for Drupal. If you write documentation for your modules; if you present proposals to potential clients; if you deliver training, you find you need compelling visuals for your ideas.

There are multiple ways to scale your Drupal application and business with cloud computing. The first is being able to horizontally scaling your computing power. The second is being able to leverage the scale that you can get with cloud based data services and content delivery networks (CDN). Imagine taking advantage of all of that on a platform that can place your application in front of hundreds of thousands of potential new customers…

A common scenario in web development is a delay in serving a page, due to
the need of performing several unrelated operations in sequence.
Sequential development is the norm in every major programming language,
and, although parallel processing is possible, implementing it in your
application is often painful and results in complex and debug unfriendly code.
Enters Gearman, a distributed client/server framework, which can be easily
integrated in any programming language, including SQL (through a MySQL User
Defined Function), and makes parallel processing a trivial task. This

In the age of ubiquitous connectivity, distributed servers have become
readily available and usable. Gearman, a friendly infrastructure for
distributed tasks, gives developers and DBAs a large degree of flexibility
in their applications. Using Gearman, developers can access libraries
written in multiple languages, even if they are different from the ones
used in their main application. DBAs will benefit from Gearman in their
daily tasks, by accessing external features from within the database server
itself. This session introduces Gearman principles and shows some simple
