I had my first taste of Drupal almost 3 years ago and have been drinking the kool-aid ever since; helping many organisations including the BBC, Amnesty International and many smaller NPFs to build community and publishing sites. Recently I've been exploring distributed social networking, and investigating how Drupal could enable us to start connecting our networks together to fight the silo and privacy problems we're seeing with Facebook and other proprietary social networks.
Drupal is increasingly the CMS of choice for large projects. The popularity of the platform means that developers and businesses need robust tools to manage their deployments. Last year Dave Hall developed, deployed and managed almost 2100 production Drupal 6 sites. During the presentation Dave will share the knowledge he has developed about scaling Drupal horizontally.

Managing a handful of production Drupal sites is pretty straight forward. When you start deploying or trying to manage hundreds or even thousands of sites, things get complicated very quickly. Dave Hall will explain how he has used Aegir and Drupal to deploy and manage thousands of production websites.

Greg's interest in the Internet began while studying for a degree in Architecture (the buildings kind) in Hull, East Yorkshire, UK. After building websites for the university and study groups he began work as an architectural technician, but soon found building websites became more and more a focus of his work. This continued until one day building buildings vanished in to the background completely.
Majority of my time split between sales & managing Drupal hosting for a range of large clients including the British Council, the Institute of Actuaries and Epilepsy UK.
Interested in Drupal performance / HA / clustering / varnish / pressflow / glusterFS / optimisation etc
