    As a follow-up to the Drupal: TNG session, let's keep the conversation going. What should the context API look like? What other use cases for plugins can we find? What happens to hook_menu? Let's look into these questions and figure out the next steps (after we finish Drupal 7!).

    Please be sure to read up on the conversation to date first: http://groups.drupal.org/butler

    Varnish, ESI, high-performance Drupal

    Marcus Deglos 24 August 2010
    Type:  BOF session

    ESIs can help you cache personalised pages for logged-in users. Ideas for the best ways to use ESIs and Varnish to get the best performance.

    • How to use Varnish with Drupal
    • Writing good VCLs
    • Using ESI, and serving micro-content (individual blocks, panes...)
    • Delivering micro-content via ESI with minimum bootstrap overhead
    • Other approaches to block-delivery via ESI (memcache, using David Straus' experimental kargo-event handlers, ???)

    And any other ideas!

    The ESI module (http://drupal.org/project/esi) will be released shortly, so there should be code to play with too.

    Drupal in the Public Sector (Government)

    walshtechnet 24 August 2010
    Type:  BOF session

    Let's discuss Drupal adoption by the public sector in Europe - from intergovernmental to federal to state/local.

    As an open source platform and content management system (CMS) for building dynamic web sites, Drupal is establishing itself as a leader among social software solutions for governmental, intergovernmental, and nongovernmental organizations. Having already gained a small but significant share of the domestic and worldwide public sector CMS market, the solution appears on-track for continued growth.
