Teaching Drupal

Type:  Session in official program

You know how to use Drupal but do you know how to teach others to use it? We'll define a method for showing clients how to use the tools we build without freaking them out.

You know how to use Drupal. You know how to write code, build a theme, and SEO a site. But do you know how to teach others to use Drupal? For every site we create there are clients who must use it, many don't know a node from a block. After this session, you will be able to introduce clients to Drupal without freaking them out.

We'll cover:

    Autosite: A minimal approach to Drupal mass hosting

    Olav Schettler 9 June 2010
    Type:  Not planned session

    Drupal 7 has two very exciting features for mass self-service hosting of small Drupal sites: Support of SQLite and the sites/sites.php file. Combined with a sandboxed PHP, it is now possible to automatically and safely create full new Drupal sites without any kernel hacks. This talk introduces the autosite module that wraps this functionality for easy deployment.
