Founder & Business Owner

This Open Source Evangelist is extremely serious. How serious you ask?
He obtained a PhD in theoretic Quantum Physics (aka stuff only he understands) But then Dries 'Drupal' Buytaert asked him for DRUPAL.be - and Roel said yes.

Known for his communication skills and no-nonsense style (make it work - and keep it running) he comes up with solutions for problems the client has never even thought of. He also provides all Krew members with shoulder taps and weekly massages. After all, Drupal is about sharing, isn't it?

Aloha Editor - the HTML5 Editor - An outstanding new Editor User Experience

Haymo Meran 4 July 2010
Type:  Not planned session

World’s most advanced Editor is designed to give the user a complete new experience when editing a website, wiki or blog. It can load 10x faster than existing technologies and offers unprecedented opportunities.

Easier. Better. Faster.

You can edit the website content as you see it. You do not need to save or preview to see how your text will look like on the final website. You can see the real changes the right moment you type. You do not need to log into a backend to edit any text. You edit on the actual frontend website. You neither do have to load a rich text editor. Just edit right ahead. You still do have all capabilities advanced rich text editors offers.

=Aloha Editor. The HTML5 Editor.=
World’s most advanced Editor is designed to give the user a complete new experience when editing a website, wiki, blog or any other content. I can be 3x faster than existing technologies and offers offers unprecedented opportunities.

==Easier.==

The importance of accessibility & Drupal's future

William Lawrence 4 July 2010
Type:  Not planned session

There's been a tremendous effort in making Drupal accessible. Now what?

There's been a tremendous effort in making Drupal accessible. The primary question is, now that we've made it this far, how well does Drupal support the authoring of accessible Web content to everyone? The quality of Drupal in supporting accessible content creation is critical. It's more than marking off a checklist. It's about making that accessibility sustainable through the life cycle of that product.

Organising a DrupalCon

Isabell Schulz 4 July 2010
Type:  BOF session

Going through the organisation of a DrupalCon: organisational internal and external processes, decision-making processes, team of volunteers, distribution of responsibilities.

Organising a DrupalCon is just like any other project.
I will be going through the organisation of a DrupalCon illustrating and covering organisational internal and external processes, decision-making processes, managing a team of volunteers and responsibilities.

In preparation, you need to define the what, where, when, how, who and how much it costs.

<

  • How do you set up deadlines?
  • What are the specifications?
  • How is the communication organised?
  • How much room do you need to leave for additional development during the realisation?
  • Usability testing – doing it, sharing it, building on it

    Do you see people use Drupal? Noticing things that confuse them? UX-team would love to hear from you!

    Because the one biggest usability issue with Drupal is that there are so very many little ones.

    Goal is to lower the barrier for incremental design tweaks based on usability data.
    Lets make it easier to share user observations, get better at learning from them and use it inform Drupal design and code.
