How to build Drupal Websites for "normal" clients

Hagen Graf 1 July 2010
Type:  Not planned session

The session will cover examples of creating Drupal websites for "normal" clients.
"normal" in my case means clients:

  • from over 15 countries in Europe
  • with limited budget
  • with a limited time frame
  • with many good ideas
  • with different backgrounds
  • with very different experiences concerning websites and ICT knowledge
  • from small and big companies

What I have seen for now from Drupal 7 is, that everything will be better, faster, easier and more logical and user-friendly.
Unfortunately, for the time being, I cannot use Drupal 7 in productive environments because it is not stable (surely after this conference).
For that reason I will describe my adventures with Drupal 6.

Running Hundreds of Sites - Scaling Drupal Horizontally

Dave Hall 14 June 2010
Type:  Not planned session

Drupal is increasingly the CMS of choice for large projects. The popularity of the platform means that developers and businesses need robust tools to manage their deployments. Last year Dave Hall developed, deployed and managed almost 2100 production Drupal 6 sites. During the presentation Dave will share the knowledge he has developed about scaling Drupal horizontally.

Drupal is increasingly the CMS of choice for large projects. The popularity of the platform means that developers and businesses need robust tools to manage their deployments.

Managing a handful of production Drupal sites is pretty straight forward. When you start deploying or trying to manage hundreds or even thousands of sites, things get complicated very quickly. Dave Hall will explain how he has used Aegir and Drupal to deploy and manage thousands of production websites.
