Yes, doing a Skype

Great Website..Well done IKONAMI..
Wonderful website..Congrats to everybody involved
I have a few sessions in my mind which i will like to mention here prior to submitting them there..Also i think they may help others choosing sessions for the camp as well
Ones i will like to Conduct:
1.Introduction to 960.gs css framework and Omega Theme,Delta and the context modules involved. Taking a fireworks mockup and converting it to Omega theme..
2.Building a classified ads website in Drupal something like olx.com.pk or gumtree.I am personally in favour of sessions like these because one may know a lot of things in Drupal but still building a website can be a jinx because of so many alternatives involved.
3. Building a rozee.pk like website in Drupal 7.
4.Introduction to Rules and Drupalcommerce...An amazing platform for Shopping Carts.
5.Using views all over your website...Creating a website all with Views..Views Zindabad.(Name of this session will be Views Zindabad)
6. Using Drupal as a CMF...Creating a custom module in Drupal..An affirmation for the PHP enthusiasts that Drupal is very much a PHP framework as well.
7.A go through of some fascinating Drupal Modules...i.e showcase of some amazing Drupal Modules
8.Creating Multisite websites in Drupal 7..one codebase, many drupal installations.
Now the ones i will love to be delivered by you
1.Drupal Security(Specially server level security if some webserver security professional is invited) for VPS etc.Causes of Drupal sites being hacked...security of Drupal in a shared server environment
2.Packaging Drupal ..i.e building installation profiles, features etc.
3.Project Management for Drupal Websites, how to quote for websites specially in Pakistan's environment where people even expect you to build websites for them in just 2000 rupees.How to devise agreements with clients for maintenance etc.
4.The power of CTOOLS API...creating VIEWS like interfaces in Drupal..i hope javascript and ajax gurus will come up with this one.
5.Steps involved in contributing to Drupal...specially themes and modules.I will propose a Grand 6 monthly module to be contributed to the community from Pakistan. Let our patriotism depict in it..It will be from Pakistan and i hope all the developers residing in Pak will be involved not from a company only.
6.Drupal as a Career...How trustworthy it is.. Will Drupal survive the lifetime of a PHP developer or he/she should learn other things as well because Drupal in itself is Huge and mastering so many things wont be easy for a developer.
7.Payment gateways in Pakistan for Drupal Commerce and the best banks involved.
I hope others will also come up with sessions so that we can easily be then able to post on the main camp website...Regards
