Developer

This session will highlight some technical and architectual challenges developers are facing when building modern newspaper sites and how we solved them in NodeStream using the big four - Panels, Views, CCK and Rules. This session will also cover the integration between NodeStream and Newspilot, an editorial publishing system used by the majority of all daily newspapers in Scandinavia. The integration is built on top of the Services and Deploy modules. Finally we will talk about how we chosen to package NodeStream with the Features module, Drush Make and a custom install profile.

Drupal.org is migrating from CVS to git. That means core and contrib, every module and every theme, every install profile - everything that was once held in CVS will be moved over to git. For the initial conversion, which we're calling phase 2, our goal is more or less 1:1 feature parity with what we do in CVS now. The big goodies will come later, in phase 3.

There's been a tremendous effort in making Drupal accessible. The primary question is, now that we've made it this far, how well does Drupal support the authoring of accessible Web content to everyone? The quality of Drupal in supporting accessible content creation is critical. It's more than marking off a checklist. It's about making that accessibility sustainable through the life cycle of that product.

Because the one biggest usability issue with Drupal is that there are so very many little ones.

Goal is to lower the barrier for incremental design tweaks based on usability data.
Lets make it easier to share user observations, get better at learning from them and use it inform Drupal design and code.

Varnish is a very fast HTTP cache server, which is to your Drupal what a big rotation press is to a newspapers DTP system.

Want to deliver thousands of pages per second with very low responsetime ? Varnish is your tool for that.

And Facebooks, and BBCs, and SlashDots, and ...

In this talk the author of Varnish will show off his warez, lift the hood and make you think about servers and content delivery in an entirely new way.

The session will talk about the deficiencies of the SQL databases we use and how MongoDB goes around some of them and how Drupal makes good use of them. While you might have heard some of this at a previous DrupalCon, there will be new stuff enough to make this one unique and interesting. MongoDB 1.6 will be out by the conference so you will hear about the latest and greatest. At DCSF I only gave a glimpse at how Drupal can now fully run without SQL, there will be a lot more done by DC CPH too.

How does Drupal fulfill its destiny of running a double-digit percentage of the internet? How can the community continue to grow in breadth and depth of talent? How can we continue to win converts from traditional (proprietary) CMSs? By empowering out users and putting the human at the top of the stack.

Pantheon aims to do this by standardizing and open-sourcing the "magic" of advanced enterprise hosting techniques, bundling the benefit of years of hard-won development experience, and making this all ubiquitously and inexpensively available via Cloud computing.

Most people think of famine, war, disease, hopelessness and big bucketloads of sand when Africa is mentioned. That's a shame really because Africa is, in many respects, a continent on the move.

This talk will take us through a number of often cited problems which we really see as opportunities where Drupal can (and often already does) play a big remedying role: lack of formal education, illiteracy, unconnected rural regions, the Aid Industry Gone Wild (TM) and lack of transparency in governments and organizations. To name but a few.

-Industries related group
-Drupal association worldwide

Should we adopt a Drupal Code of Conduct (#DCOC) ?
How can can it works together ?
How can it help Drupal grow ?

This session is more a place holder to have a panel with representative of Drupal User Groups and DA to share experiences and see what works and doesn't works.

Have you already studied to your heart's content the touristy attractions of Drupal 7 (Entity API, Fields, AJAX framework, etc.)? Looking to see something unexpected in Drupal 7? You're in luck.

Visit with me the semi-secret neighborhoods of Drupal 7, only known by some natives.

• Queues and Jobs: execute long-running jobs easily and reliably
• Pluggeable caches: do you love Cache Router, but hope it was properly maintained?
• Extensible database drivers: ever wanted to be able to alter the behavior of the database engine, to optimize your cluster?
