Drupal Design Camp is next weekend! http://boston.design4drupal.org/
We need you!
We need you the amazing developers to come and give Drupal Fundamental sessions. This is our chance to support a genuine effort to improve designing in Drupal and grow our community.
Why?
A lot of the attendees will need a foundation laid before they can understand theming topics.
Please sign up and submit a session and hopefully in a few days we will have enough to fill the need for Drupal Fundamental sessions.
You have an hour-slot for time but it's not necessary to fill the whole thing. We are leaving time for Q & A and making friends on Student Street.
Ideas:
Here's some ideas for you. It is a design camp so any slant towards theming is good but not 100% necessary.
- An introduction to Drupal basics
- Drupal concepts
- Technology stack
- Drupal version numbering
- Anatomy of a theme
- Drupal terminology, node, users, roles, permissions, blocks, regions, taxonomy, etc
- Need 1 expert themer to lead a world-known small static site into Zen theme. This project will turn into a session
- How you can install Drupal locally on your laptop or how to get Drupal hosted through hosting services
- Review showcase web sites including: Education sites, Non-profit sites, newspaper sites, media sites, government sites, and health care sites.
- How to add content and put on menu system, explain pages vs blocks, regions, views light, etc.
- Review content editing and basic content features like blogging, wikis, commenting, forum topics.
- Overview project management for a Drupal site. Demonstrate how to start simple and small and grow features organically and iteratively
- How to go from one version to another with the least amount of pain
- Tools used for theming
- Intro to Development Environments

Wish List:
