Since February 2008, the community has been hard at work on Drupal 7, which is rapidly nearing completion (or possibly already complete ;)). This revolutionary new release sports literally hundreds of improvements, and Angela Byron, the Drupal 7 co-maintainer, will lead you through the most important ones and how they'll impact your future site building endeavors.

With all the new html5 buzz, and the talk about the future of flash, its time to make some order out of the chaos.
In this session we will talk about the benefits of using the flash platform.
whether you want to build an eye-caching wizard, a sophisticated mapping applet or to build a customized media players, the option of using flash cannot be ignored.

• how to decide when to prefer the use of flash over the use of javascript.
• Show you some real world examples of leveraging Flash and Flex to build a great user experience in Drupal.

With the incredible success of Ubuntu around the world, the LoCo project helps groups of Ubuntu fans and enthusiasts to work together in regional teams to help advocate, promote, translate, develop and otherwise improve Ubuntu.

This session focuses on how the Ubuntu Community makes use of Drupal everywhere: From ubuntu.com through most Local Community sites worldwide and to the Ubuntu Marketing site SpreadUbuntu, we use Drupal to spread the message of Open Source Freedom. And we want to share this know-how with everyone!

This session is not about code. No code no code no code. No really, no code.

This session will showcase a unique approach we've pioneered at Chapter Three leveraging Adobe Fireworks to use an in-house created template to transform our designs from good to amazing. We will be showing you how to address a lot of elements that make sites look Drupal-y and show you how to create Future-Proof-Extendable-Design.

What the heck does that mean? You'll have to show up to find out, but we guarantee that if you design sites for Drupal, that you will use the tools that we have to share.

Selenium is a testing framework which allows anyone - developers, designers, project managers or the client - to record user journeys in their browser and have those user journeys be replayable on anyone else's browser. It also supports whole suites of tests, automating in the browser and automating outside the browser using a dedicated testing server.

Selenium's a great choice for Drupal testing because so much of the functionality you or your client will want to build is browser-based. Also, with a few extra tweaks, Drupal can integrate very nicely with Selenium to produce robust tests.

Dries Buytaert will give his bi-annual State of Drupal talk in the beginning of DrupalCon Copenhagen, where he’ll discuss where Drupal is and where it is going. In particular, he’ll discuss the final preparations for the release of Drupal 7, the Drupal.org redesign, and some of the initial plans for Drupal 8.

Acquia's engineering team have been building DrupalGardens at a fast pace for the past year and now that we are heading into open beta we decided it was time to open up and share what has worked well with the community.
