Are you new to Drupal, experienced in the software but lack an overview of how all the pieces fit together in the community? In this session I intend to provide a brief overview of what Drupal is and instead of delving into technical details, focus more on how the different avenues to improve Drupal work. Systems like distributions, localizations, issue queues, the core and contributed modules repositories, the security team, automated testing and so on. How can you collaborate with the community and make money on the way?

WordPress is better than Drupal: developers take note.

Jennifer Lea Lampton 13 May 2010

Yes, I said it. Drupal developers need to look at what WordPress is doing right, and take action. There are 11.4 million active installations of WordPress software compared to only hundreds of thousands of Drupal installations. Come find out why, and what can you do with your own modules to prevent our CMS from being abandoned in favor of something else.

Yes, I said it.

Come watch me build a basic WordPress site in less time than it takes you to floss your teeth.

WordPress gets some very important things right, and their hold on this market is proof. There are 11.4 million active installations of WordPress software, compared to only hundreds of thousands of Drupal installations. We need to get our act together, raise our standards, and lower the barrier to entry.

Architecting a Drupal Site: From Composition to Completion

Jon Skulski 13 May 2010
Type:  Session in official program

The talk will be a general overview of how to digest a design composition into a Drupal development roadmap. We'll break down a comp into content types, views and (of course) panels. I'll discuss some strategies to finding quality modules and how to make the decision to write your own code.

One of the first challenges of building a Drupal site is generating a complete guide to development.

Having planned and built many sites in the last few years, I'd like to extend my experience and give some perspective on how Chapter Three architects their sites.

"What data do we want to capture?"
"How are we going to display it?"
"Are there already modules do we can leverage?"
"When do we write custom code?"

These are all questions we can ask to write a roadmap that will compile that design into a working, sustainable website.
