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.
