Drippic - A Twitpic clone built in Drupal

Tim Millwood 9 June 2010
Type:  Not planned session

A few months ago I had the crazy idea of trying to clone Twitpic using Drupal. This then turned into Drippic.

Drippic using oAuth to authenticate against Twitter, then allows the upload of photos via drippic.com, API, and email. The API has been built to support 'Twitter for iPhone' allowing posting to Drippic from the app.

This session will look at how the drippic module was created, how it works and how to use it.

Including:
- Setting up CCK, filefield and image field.
- Setting up oAuth.
- Setting up Views
- Creating nodes with images programatically
- Creating nodes from emails
- Creating short URLs
- Posting to Twitter
- Linking node comments to Twitter

Please goto http://drippic.com, sign up, and have a play.

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.

Mapping in Drupal with OpenLayers

Alan Palazzolo 8 June 2010
Type:  Session in official program

OpenLayers is a powerful Javascript library to do web mapping with. Combined with Drupal, OpenLayers provides a solid base for creating maps on your Drupal site and integrating Drupal structures. This session will demo the module and talk about the status and direction of the module.

Web mapping is all the rage these days, and for good reason. Mapping allows users to explore data in a more meaningful and enjoyable way. Combining the power of geo-coded content and mapping, a site's content can come to life in ways that traditional sites cannot offer.

Do more than publish video on the web... run a TV channel with Drupal

Kevin Reynen 8 June 2010
Type:  Not planned session

The Open Media Project is a collection of modules developed by the Open Media Foundation with funding from the Knight Foundation. It allows viewers to run an actual TV channel. That's right! Drupal users determine what airs on TV in several US cities. Think of it as sharing the remote of a TiVo with hundreds of your neighbors via Fivestar and Voting API. The modules developed for the Open Media Project include everything from encoding, Creative Commons licensing, metadata, and managing equipment checkouts.

This session has 2 goals: 1) Demonstrate how the Open Media modules extend Drupal to allow users to do everything from reserving cameras and studios, submitting broadcast quality video, and rating those videos to determine what airs on TV in several US cities. 2) Describe the some of the steps taken to develop the culture of collaboration that continues to drive the project beyond the initial $380,000 Knight NewsChallenge grant.

Online surveying with Drupal is commonly associated with modules like Poll and Webform. Complex surveys for social and marketing research require a lot more features than what is provided from these (excellent!) modules, like the ability to build scales and specialized question types, question filtering, question routes, controlled survey delivery or exporting data to statistical analysis software packages. This session will introduce a new Drupal distribution profile currently in development and aimed to be a powerfull surveying solution. You will find out how it can help you to:
- create and manage complex surveys that feature question routing/filtering
- deploy public surveys and targeted surveys with email/token based access
- use predefined question types and build your own question types easily
- export data for further analysis to a third party statistical software package
