Developing Community Websites with Drupal

Ronald Ashri 4 July 2010
Type:  Not planned session

This session aims to demonstrate how to build a community website in Drupal. Combining modules such as Groups and Activty with Views and CCK to get from vanilla Drupal installation to sophisticated community website. We talk about what works, what perhaps should but doesn't quite and what is coming in the future. A session for anyone considering to built a community website with Drupal.

Drupal has long been touted as a system that provides the necessary "plumbing" to build community-oriented websites. However, it is not immediately obvious, even to developers with some experience how one gets from a vanilla Drupal installation to creating a sophisticated community with complex interactions and different types of users.

Additional Presenters:  John Griffin
