I'd like to volunteer for part 2 of my talk on some magic with Drupal views. I could do a lightning talk or a full presentation depending on interest.

Lightning talk on faster development workflow

I would like to do a live demo lightning talk on:

  1. Configuring the Chrome search engines to search the Drupal API, PHP.net, and Drupal.org. I will also will cover the dgo.to shortener tool.
  2. Using virtual workspaces to improve your efficiency
  3. Using LiveReload to quickly preview your css and template file changes (display suite). This is not how to set it up, just to show what is possible to give necessary motivation to set it up.

This all focuses on making you faster at what you do.

David offered over email to give a short talk on bootstrapping Drupal via external scripts.

I'm happy for Matt to spend 30 minutes on Views plus those 2 short talks. As an alternative I was thinking about doing a demo of D7 COD, but I haven't started on it.
