He explained the basics of drupal for newbie's. He discussed the architecture of Drupal, Important modules and their functionalities. He given all the information for a new drupal developer to quick start with Drupal.

Summet Pareek shared his experience with Drupal API. He explained importance of different kinds of hooks and given a case study of using drupal node_api hooks.

I took the Apache Solr + Drupal integration session. I discussed how drupal search performance and speed can be increased tremendously using Apache Solr. I discussed various features apache solr offers. Integration and installation of Apache Solr with Drupal is explained at the end of the presentation. For presentation please drop an email @ anil614sagar@gmail.com since file size is more than 1 Mb, i cannot attach here.

We shared our drupal experience, clarified others doubts and answered drupal related questions.

On June 19th, we have hosted Drupal - Bangalore user group(D-BUG) meet in SPAN premises.
Since in Bangalore, it was just a beginning of Drupal meets, so we decided to keep it short and sweet. which eventually turned out to be with the warmth and energy of the fellow drupalers. we had couple of talks - on Drupal for newbies and other for Drupal + Apache Solr by Anil.
But more nice was to see the energy and enthusiasm to share their drupal stories and their experiences with drupal. Sumeet explained in detail about his experience in building a drupal application on top of a gaming site.
Anil was instrumental in set the ball rolling and answering the general Drupal related queries.
Some of us asked for more workshops and case studies in future.
In morning, Umesh SPAN general manager welcomed the drupalers and Latish and SPAN PHP team oversaw the arrangements and agenda.

It was fun day sharing your thoughts with fellow drupalers and put them in our workplaces.
That's the theme of the open source community which this meet lived upto.
