Lisa Rex 3 July 2010
Type:  Session in official program

Drupal.org is undergoing a massive change. A panel from the redesign team will discuss the drupal.org redesign project.

Drupal.org is undergoing a massive change. It's our home and playground. It's also a public face of Drupal. In this session, some of the team discuss:

  • Why Drupal.org needed a redesign
  • How the Drupal.org redesign project is also a redevelopment, and the technical challenges we face
  • What project management strategies worked, and what didn't, and what we're learning along the way
  • Why the Drupal Association had to hire people
  • Overview of our contributors

One thing is certain, this is not your typical open source project.

Views: The Key to the Drupal Castle

Type:  Session in official program

The Views module is one of the most innovative and important Contributed Drupal modules, second in usage only to Drupal core.

Views empowers site administrators to easily create customized listings of content, and has changed the way developers build their modules. In this session, we'll focus on how Views empowers site administrators to build complex listings of content without any programming knowhow.

Building Conference & Event Websites in Drupal with COD

Type:  Session in official program

Come see why Drupal is the best platform for building conference and event websites that meet the needs of attendees, event organizers and sponsors!

In this session we'll build a conference website from scratch that provides robust features including:

  • Proposing and voting on sessions
  • Setting a session schedule for the event and for each attendee
  • Making it easy for attendees to register, pay and provide profile information
  • Managing a waiting list of attendees
  • Collecting and displaying sponsor information

We'll see how Drupal's Conference Organizing Distribution (COD) can help get a conference site up and running quickly, allowing event organizers to focus on running the event and personalizing the site, and allowing attendees to participate actively before, during and after the event!

We'll also see how COD was used to build other conference websites, like DrupalCamp Colorado 2010, and an upcoming conference for the Meego open source project.

Customizing Drupal (without killing kittens)

Florian Loretan 3 July 2010
Type:  Not planned session

A few recipes for simple and clean customizations for those willing to peek into a few lines of PHP code.

For any kind of Drupal website, it happens very often that existing modules get you 90% of the way but you still need some customizations to get things looking and working exactly the way you want. Not a brand new module, just some site-specific adaptations that get you to 100% of what you want.

Community/Social Networking Website toward a fully functional prepackaged product / SAS based on Drupal ?

JB Ingold 3 July 2010
Type:  Not planned session

In the Drupal community, we see more and more « product » (like openatrium, openpublish) but nothing in the former « core bussiness » of Drupal : community website and social networking website where as
- Ning is offering a service to lauch a community in 30 second or so
- WordPress 3.0 include BuddyPress opensource package ready to go in 6 minutes.
We lack a social platform ready to use (as service or as installation profile) based on Drupal.

What you need to know about grids that 960 won't teach you

Mark Boulton 2 July 2010
Type:  Session in official program

As great as 960.gs is, it's not where designing grids should begin and end. Grid systems should be the basis of your layout thinking. If you're picking up an existing grid - like 960.gs, you're not designing, you're taking a shortcut, and it could be in the wrong direction. This session will start from the beginning. You'll learn the why and how, but also the things you need to be considering the years to come. You will learn the underpinning grid theory so you can stop taking shortcuts and start designing grids from scratch.
