Post lunch...

Posted by venky.drupal on October 13, 2011 at 9:37am

Great start folks.

A couple of inputs:

Post-lunch could also have space for BoFs.
Perhaps, you can sneak in a few case studies in between sessions to help people connect dots!

So, can we all now propose session ideas? I think we can set some expectations and help people see what you expect as well..

love, peace & Drupal,

Venky :)

tracks

Posted by Sree on October 13, 2011 at 10:14am

Good start guys!

Also, one more input - it would be good if we can have sessions dedicated to some tracks like:
1. Mobile track - Minimum 1 session from this track would be selected to be presented
2. D8 Initiatives - Minimum 1 session from this track would be selected to be presented
3. Continuous Integration / Release management - Minimum 1 session from this track would be selected to be presented
4. Community - Minimum 1 session from this track would be selected to be presented

Valid point.

I think that's a good idea. Few categories are a must to have. HTML5 as well.

Post your ideas

Posted by asifnoor on October 14, 2011 at 10:39am

Hello Everyone,

Can we get started with session ideas being posted here. May be we can use a simple format such as

Session name
Description: Brief description with 6-8 lines
Track: Beginner/moderate/advanced

This will get us started.

Once the site is up, i can collate and can put it on the site.

Thanks,
Asif

Resources

Posted by kvprashant on October 13, 2011 at 10:55am

I got hold of these wonderful resources during brainstorming of another event. I am sure most of you are aware of it but its worth a share.

About Open Spaces on Youtube
Open-space meeting on Wikipedia

Maybe we have to see if we can fit in the time. And this is creative commons friendly :)

Birds of feather sessions

Posted by kurund on October 14, 2011 at 8:38am

I think having couple of slots for BOF would be nice. This will be another options where in people can discuss in small groups etc..

Kurund

BOF should be outside of sessions

Posted by Ravi.J on October 14, 2011 at 8:57am

@kurund, Generally BOF's are held by self organizing groups. They are scheduled around sessions by people that have similar interests.
I would suggest having a dedicated room for BOF's and people can get together whenever they want. Remember not all participants will be interested in all the sessions

BOFs are planned

Posted by asifnoor on October 14, 2011 at 9:45am

@kurund, Yes, BOFs are considered. We will have a big hall available where we will have these.

Thanks,
Asif

4. Drupal Installation,drupal Folder structure (mainly sites > all > themes,modules).
5. About Core modules and other imp modules (like cck ,views etc)
6. Tpl structure,when Page,block tpl will call and how.
7. How to navigate administration modules like content management,user management etc.
