Developer

Enterprise knowledge management has been the focus of many software
products in the last decade. However most of these products have
proven to fail on capturing everyone's inputs and on customizing the
information in order to meet people's constant requirements.

Drupal allows users with different roles to create rich contents
with defined properties. These contents give shape to a big infomation
cloud, in which users can categorize them using either the organization's language
(taxonomy) or their personal one (tags). This categorization

In this session, we'll look at why depending on Twitter and Facebook (or similar) has serious drawbacks; the network should be open and federated! We'll look at OStatus (http://ostatus.org/), the completely open protocol that we've been working to develop and promote at StatusNet (http://status.net/) for real-time, federated public messaging and we'll see why it's interesting (and important) for Drupal.

This session is for open protocol geeks, freedom fighters and anyone who is just trying figure out what it all means.

June 2010 we took a bold leap as a new company and decided to spend part our summer developing an Open-Source Internet Curriculum. We partnered with COSOLA-MACILE, a non-profit organization focused on K-12 education in less advantaged communities.

In July, we are travelling to Itabo, Dominican Republic to teach 6th-12th grade students and teachers about the Internet, Open-Source technology and Drupal, using Drupal Gardens as the primary teaching tool. The Pilot Program will run for approximately 2-weeks as an after school program open to interested MACILE participants.

RIP CVS - Drupal is going git! This session will cover the fundamentals you'll need to know in order to work with git. We'll do basic git instruction, then move on into additional information and techniques that'll make working with the new drupal.org git infrastructure a breeze. Whether you're a maintainer, contributor, or just use Drupal at your work, this session will give you a working knowledge of how git and drupal fit together.

Drupal has long been touted as a system that provides the necessary "plumbing" to build community-oriented websites. However, it is not immediately obvious, even to developers with some experience how one gets from a vanilla Drupal installation to creating a sophisticated community with complex interactions and different types of users.

A developer environment is a personal thing. There is no one perfect setup, but I'm going to recommend a number of different tools available to optimize your Drupal development. Developers and themers will get the most out of this session.

TOPICS
IDE – E.g. Zend Studio, Eclipse, NetBeans.
Browser Plugins – E.g. Firebug.
Tips and Tricks – Logical steps to solve Drupal related problems.
Modules – E.g. coder and devel modules.
Deployment – How to get your code from development to production.
Management – Tracking tasks is an essential part of development.

Varnish is a reverse proxy cache. It accelerate your web site by caching responses from your web server and thereby offloading Drupal. Varnish is a modern solution outperforming its competing products by as much as twenty times. That is the reason for its increasing popularity as web accelerator.

Audience

This session is for anyone who is not afraid to manage Linux servers, but who has not yet looked into Varnish.

What you will learn

In this session you will learn:

• What Varnish is.
• When to use Varnish.

This session will focus on opening your mind to the point of view of your clients. Whether you are working for a non-profit, a corporation, or your mom... we will cover some tricks that will help you understand what they want even if they can't explain it to you in Drupalspeak.

Ultimately, the aim of this session is to help you build skills that will enable you to understand your client's desires. Your clients get the Drupal site that they want. Your save time and energy (and money and aggravation) while you build it. This leaves both you and your client happy.
