This informal session is to carry on the discussion from the end of my presentation on in vps.net yesterday. At the end, a lot of people had questions and wanted to see more, but we didn't have enough time to fit them all in. If we can get this session in the schedule, I'll be around to answer any questions.

We would like people interested in design to meet and discuss what design success in Drupal would be. Following up on "Design 4 Drupal - no more fugly!" we would like to hear ideas about what the future role of design in Drupal should be. Help us formulate the questions and find some answers.

By the end of the session we hope to have a concrete idea about how people want design to work as part of the Drupal ecostystem and have to some plans toward bringing these changes about.

Let's meet for a demo of a few modules that were developed for a better journalist experience at France24/RFI.

In short, it includes:

If you are interested in having high quality video on your website, you will be interested to learn more at the The Brightcove video platform BoF. The technical director of Brightcove and the Drupal module creators will be there to answer all your questions.

Bring your laptop along in order to go step by step through the process of installing Zend Debugger and Eclipse IDE and getting them to work together. If you were convinced by Randy's "Debugging Drupal: Hands-on techniques" session and want a more sophisticated way to understand the state of your code than littering it with dsm() calls then this BoF is for you.

In this BoF we would like to exchange ideas and experiences in several different areas, including:

• Current situation of Drupal Community in Austria

• Increase public awareness regarding Drupal in Austria and regarding potentials of Drupal Community in Austria in particular

Scrum is a very useful framework to help you stay in control of Drupal projects. But you need to know its limitations and also customise it appropreately to suit your projects.

The main aim of this BoF is to discuss and exchange practical information on the use of Scrum in real projects and therefore no presentation is planned.

A number of organizations are struggling to fill their drupal developer positions. While this is not a bad thing by any stretch for those of us already versed in Drupal-ese, it's going to be important to get new developers up to speed. Come to this BOF and share your ideas and training methodologies, or come with questions if you're just getting started with training.

• How to use Varnish with Drupal
• Writing good VCLs
• Using ESI, and serving micro-content (individual blocks, panes...)
• Delivering micro-content via ESI with minimum bootstrap overhead
• Other approaches to block-delivery via ESI (memcache, using David Straus' experimental kargo-event handlers, ???)

And any other ideas!

The ESI module (http://drupal.org/project/esi) will be released shortly, so there should be code to play with too.

As an open source platform and content management system (CMS) for building dynamic web sites, Drupal is establishing itself as a leader among social software solutions for governmental, intergovernmental, and nongovernmental organizations. Having already gained a small but significant share of the domestic and worldwide public sector CMS market, the solution appears on-track for continued growth.
