Let's make Drupal faster

chx 16 August 2010
Type:  BOF session

Drupal 7, there is no doubt, became too slow

Let's discuss. I have some ideas of where it's slow (lots of Drupal render...) and I would love to come up with solutions that keep flexibility but makes it speedier.

I do not know why a Birds of a Feather session would require fifty words so I am adding some fluff.

Drupal for NGOs and not-for-profits

J-P Stacey 13 August 2010
Type:  BOF session

If you work for or with an NGO, charity or other not-for-profit, and they're using Drupal: you should be at this BOF session.

Many organisations in the not-for-profit sector are adopting Drupal as their CMS of choice. Longstanding users in the UK include Amnesty International and Greenpeace UK. So big is the NGO/Drupal space in the UK, that there's a dedicated meetup group on drupal.org.uk for people interested in it.

  • Lightning talks – open mic

    Anonymous 11 August 2010
    Type:  Session in official program

    This session is reserved for short 5-minute lightning talks. If you want to give a talk or present your cool Drupal project, please register for a speaker slot at the registration desk in the lobby. To make this session run as smooth as possible, you won't be able to use your own laptop (to cut down on the time used to get from one speaker to the next). Bring your presentation on a USB stick or structure it in such a way that you only need a webbrowser to support your talk.

    The Federated Social Web and Drupal

    Ronald Ashri 11 August 2010
    Type:  BOF session

    The move towards decentralising social activity on the web is gaining ground with efforts such as Ostatus providing a common set of standards and concepts for people to debate and hopefully, eventually agree on.

    Drupal - as one of the most popular and forward thinking CMSs should take front-stage in this effort. The aim of this meeting is to bring together people interested in the Federated Social Web and in technologies such as Activity Streams, Pubsubhubbub, Salmon and WebFinger and plan how to make Drupal a fully qualified member of the federated social web.

    DrupalCRM: a native Drupal-based CRM

    Chris Cohen 11 August 2010
    Type:  BOF session

    Up until now, CRMs have been accessible through API modules, or partially integrated such as CiviCRM. Creating a Drupal CRM will be no easy task, so we're gathering to discuss how to proceed with this mammoth undertaking.

    Please note this session has been moved from the earlier time of 10:00-10:50.

    Up until now, CRMs have been accessible through API modules, or partially integrated such as CiviCRM. Creating a Drupal CRM will be no easy task, so we're gathering to discuss how to proceed with this mammoth undertaking.

    The CRM will be developed for Drupal 7 and, resources permitting, be backported to Drupal 6.

    The key issues for discussion:

    • Will DCRM use profile2 entities to represent contacts, and if so, what needs to be included?
