Liberty without muskets

"Give me liberty or give me closed source!"

5 minutes (lightning talk)

What is open source? A religion? A Communist conspiracy? A childish fantasy? Nay!

Open source has been around for centuries … in science, in law, in farming. But now it has hit business and a revolution is happening. Liberty is on the rise — not because of changes in government, but rather because of changes in the commons.

Drupal in Africa: pitfalls, possibilities and success stories

Most people think of famine, war, disease, hopelessness and big bucketloads of sand when Africa is mentioned. That's a shame really because Africa is, in many respects, a continent on the move.

This talk will take us through a number of often cited problems which we really see as opportunities where Drupal can (and often already does) play a big remedying role: lack of formal education, illiteracy, unconnected rural regions, the Aid Industry Gone Wild (TM) and lack of transparency in governments and organizations. To name but a few.

Drupal as the enterprise information hub

hernani — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:05:14 +0000

Type: Not planned session

For organizations, knowledge and inovation are the keys to make the
difference. However managing what a company knows and what is going on
inside and outside the firm is truly challenging when every one is envolved.
Using Drupal as our basestone, we were able of enroll 600
collaborators from dozens of teams of a Multinational Telecom Company in Portugal to document
what they know, to capture and broadcast their daily activity and to
show to every team and every team member what is important for them,
wherever they want and whenever they want!

45 minutes (+15 minutes Q&A)

Enterprise knowledge management has been the focus of many software
products in the last decade. However most of these products have
proven to fail on capturing everyone's inputs and on customizing the
information in order to meet people's constant requirements.

Drupal allows users with different roles to create rich contents
with defined properties. These contents give shape to a big infomation
cloud, in which users can categorize them using either the organization's language
(taxonomy) or their personal one (tags). This categorization

Mid 2009, France Télévisions, the French public national television group, decided to switch to a new CMS that would be able to suit all their internet content publishing needs.

Since France Télévisions hosts more than 1000 sites, it was impossible to migrate all the sites at once. That's why a pilot site was chosen : the sports news site sport.francetv.fr. Of course, the CMS also had to be able to handle the others sites that would be migrated later.

What we want to tell you is the story of this successful Drupal project .

We will cover the following topics :
