notes

Drupalcon Parisに来ています。興味深い情報をここで共有していきたいと思います。

Wil iedereen die aantekeningen, foto's, presentaties, of ander materiaal van de DrupalJam 16 november j.l. deze in comments hieronder insturen? Geef A.U.B. een directe url op naar de bronnen, of anders naar een post vanwaar alle documenten te vinden zijn.

Dan kan ik die verwerken tot een algemene post waar we alles kunnen terugvinden.

Alex has posted his presentation (open office format) and links from his Thursday talk on Amazon S3 services in his blog:

It was a "crap happens" night so we didn't have a video projector or the audio equipment we typically have. The improvisation with the LCD monitor worked well for a video projector replacement. Using the camera microphone didn't produce as good a result. I'll leave it to Roland whether or not he wants to post the video link.

At the Events 2.0 presentation DWW took notes during the session. Most of the presentation was to provide context for the Revised Event Spec – published here earlier.

Huge shout out to DWW for taking such detailed notes - I've gone through and tried to edit a bit so that people who were not there would have a little more context - DWW - if I've screwed something up please don't hesitate to point it out....

Drivers for Events 2.0 -

There is not a lot of functionality within the Drupal modules around Events.
Some of the modules don't “play well with others” and are not being maintained

Drupal Camp Afternoon Session
· Bootstrapping your site
· http://defectivebydesign.org - bootstrapped live
· Expectation setting. Boris’ comment about 4 month – clients have time to do the tasks they have to do that they had no idea
· Defective by design – get into public’s mind that DRM is being pushed on us, it is wrong, we can push back, to get press, to sign up members and to convert members to Free Software Foundation
· F2F work with online coordination and some online interation
· Started with 24 people and one month later there are 5000. In the last week signed up 1500. Did a call in day against the RIAA, direct calls to executives, 200 people logged their call, was dug, slashdotted right away. Crossposted within 3-4 hours. Digg suppressed the story after it got on the front page and banned Henri Poole for a violation but they did not specify the violation.

Drupal Camp

· Is a CMS, can create community, but can be used for other things. Do whatever you want if you have the resources. Developer/programming skills. Out of the box is ok to have forums, blogs, users on the system, public or password protected.
· Theme layer – you can make it look like anything you want. Rain City does a lot of different kinds of looks and layouts using Drupal.
· Not terribly easy to learn, but all documented on how to create a theme.
· Event registration – there is an event module. Plug in additional functionality. Section on Drupal site called projects or downloads. Can add forums- you enable module.
