Drush Alias'

Elijah Lynn's picture

I can do a lightning talk on drush alias' and using it with remote servers.

Basically showing people how cool it is, for instance sql-sync and sqlc, so they attempt to learn more about it and integrate it into their workflow. I don't know everything about drush but I know how to do this and think it is very valuable to developers using dev/staging/live servers with their workflow.

Thanks Elijah - I'll add you

I can talk about theming an image field so that the alt can be used as the photo caption. It would also be quite winging it as I just did it last week, but at least it's fresh in my mind.
