Staying on top of the mass of knowledge assets and the flood of news in the enterprise is critical but increasingly hard. In order to address this problem SCMS integrates semantics, knowledge discovery (KD) and collaborative curation.

Apache SOLR is an emerging new technology to support all major Drupal site's powerful search. But it's not just searching that it does.

With Apache SOLR your site can do a lot more than just faceted searching fast and easy. You can use SOLR to power your Views, Panels, Übercart and a lot of other stuff, with some new contrib modules.

Fluid grids, flexible images, and media queries are the three technical ingredients for responsive web design, but it also requires a different way of thinking. Rather than quarantining our content into disparate, device-specific experiences, we can use media queries to progressively enhance our work within different viewing contexts.

During this session we'll take a look at what a distributed company is and why they're a good idea, especially for low capital start-ups. Then we'll dive right in and what I think are the essentials in running a distributed Drupal shop:

• Essential skills you need
• SOHO setup
• How to find the right people
• How to maintain relationships at a distance
• How we get paid
• How to maintain quality
• Keeping projects on track
• Client reactions, trust and full disclosure
• Contracts and our SLA
• Why we choose a niche market

There are multiple ways to scale your Drupal application and business with cloud computing. The first is being able to horizontally scaling your computing power. The second is being able to leverage the scale that you can get with cloud based data services and content delivery networks (CDN). Imagine taking advantage of all of that on a platform that can place your application in front of hundreds of thousands of potential new customers…

Because I didn't get to goto Drupalcon SF to presesnt in person I though the European Drupalist would care to hear a revisted version of the speech

Nutch is an open web crawler that lets you do fine grained or Internet wide web crawling. In this session I will introduce you to the Drupal Nutch module, which will help with the setup and control of your crawls. We will combine this with some of the new features in the Apache Solr, Views 3 and Apache Solr views to create hybrid search engine vertical that interleaves your content with supporting web content.

The Agenda will be:

Displaying trending content is important to any site. Luckily for Drupal, we have the perfect tool – the Radioactivity module. In this session we will walk through the most common and even the more innovative use cases for the tool. By the end of this session, you will ace all the various settings and scenarios.

While Drupal is usually thought of in terms of CMS for web sites, many companies and Drupal shops are starting to use the framework to build web applications/products. This panel will look at some of the products being built on Drupal and will discuss the potential of the business model, from the perspective of Drupal Shops looking to expand beyond a strictly service based business as well as from the vantage point of businesses who are looking for a platform to build their products with.

A panel representing leading Drupal-based products, will discuss topics that include:

During this presentation the concrete projects get elaborated to see how the prototype leads to an interesting medium for researching strategic innovation management. From this experience we suggest a collaboration between academic business education and the Drupal business-ecosystem to work out a Drupal labs initiative.

For my research on strategic innovation management I've noticed how much literature exist about OS, but how little is yet know about Drupal. I'm interested in getting more understanding of the Business ecosystem and by doing so we may actually provide some service to that ecosystem.

For example, for modules there are "projects", that helps developers to collaborate. Why don't we have tools for
