Higher Ed

I'd be interested in learning how other institutions deal with the tension between Drupal and their LMS. At UD, we use Sakai, which has some areas of weakness I'd like to be able to plug up with Drupal sites, but it's awkward, to say the least. Am wondering if anyone else is dealing with dual platforms, and how they manage. - Becky Kinney

Libraries

Museums

Training Organizations

Last year we briefly discussed our EthosCE project for certifying continuing education courses (EthosCE). It's a Drupal-Moodle intragration making use of Features/Spaces. We'd (ezraw, scottrigby, thesleuth, JoelD, djdevin ) be happy to give an update if anyone is interested.

Public-facing web sites

Community site (for teachers, students, admins, parents, alums, donors, etc)

Open Courseware

Lightning talks

Annotated Video - a CCK content type for use with UD's automated course capture system. The node type has two custom fields, video url and cuepoints (stored as xml). The built-in xml editor was written in Flash and pops up in a Lightbox2 lightframe. - Becky Kinney

I'd be interested in seeing this in action - Bill Fitzgerald

Case studies

"How do I" (module selection, theming, and when to write custom code)

which html editors do you recommend and why?

I'd be glad to lead a discussion on the way we generally set things up: WYSIWYG API, Better Formats, Filefield, and Insert - Bill Fitzgerald

Infrastructure planning

Count me in. I've been living and breathing scaling and infrastructure lately. Pressflow+Varnish, Solr, multiple backend webnodes, virtualization.
