WordPress is better than Drupal: developers take note.

Jennifer Lea Lampton 13 May 2010
Type:  Session in official program

Yes, I said it. Drupal developers need to look at what WordPress is doing right, and take action. There are 11.4 million active installations of WordPress software compared to only hundreds of thousands of Drupal installations. Come find out why, and what can you do with your own modules to prevent our CMS from being abandoned in favor of something else.

Yes, I said it.

Come watch me build a basic WordPress site in less time than it takes you to floss your teeth.

WordPress gets some very important things right, and their hold on this market is proof. There are 11.4 million active installations of WordPress software, compared to only hundreds of thousands of Drupal installations. We need to get our act together, raise our standards, and lower the barrier to entry.

Views 3 brings Views to a new level and open's it up for a bunch of new usecases.

This session will be about the changes to views in the views 3.x development cycle.
Beside the big improvement of pluggable query backends(query from flickr etc.) views supports
a bunch of more features of sql and has some more internal features.

A short list of changes

  • Pluggable query backend
  • AND/OR support
  • GROUPBY support
  • better export code
  • UI stuff
  • exposed forms
  • pluggable pagers
  • semantic support
  • really translation support
  • too many more to write them down

Semantic Taxonomies

Johannes Wehner 13 May 2010
Type:  Session in official program

Do you wanna know how information.dk - a Danish daily - tags articles with people, organisations, places and subjects? We Connect! news with OpenLinkedData

At Information.dk - a Danish daily newspaper - we just launched a new taxonomy project.

We now have a taxonomy of 22.386 persons, 3.185 organisations, 1.721 places and 1.976 subjects. Most these tags are linked to da.wikipedia.org, en.wikipedia.org and dbpedia.org. The places are also linked to geonames.

This session will describe the ideas that started the project, the different phases that lead to the current pages and some thoughts on where this could lead.

Architecting a Drupal Site: From Composition to Completion

Jon Skulski 13 May 2010
Type:  Session in official program

The talk will be a general overview of how to digest a design composition into a Drupal development roadmap. We'll break down a comp into content types, views and (of course) panels. I'll discuss some strategies to finding quality modules and how to make the decision to write your own code.

One of the first challenges of building a Drupal site is generating a complete guide to development.

Having planned and built many sites in the last few years, I'd like to extend my experience and give some perspective on how Chapter Three architects their sites.

"What data do we want to capture?"
"How are we going to display it?"
"Are there already modules do we can leverage?"
"When do we write custom code?"

These are all questions we can ask to write a roadmap that will compile that design into a working, sustainable website.
