From Dries' original typo trying to register the Dutch word for community,
... to the adoption of Drupal by kerneltrap.org

Developing Community Websites with Drupal

ronald_istos — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 17:40:07 +0000

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.

45 minutes (+15 minutes Q&A)

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.

TING.concept is a project initiated by the two largest public libraries in Denmark. The vision is to release all information in the libraries, make the user and staff knowledge visible, create relations between them that facilitates interaction and place it in a context where it gives meaning to the users.

45 minutes (+15 minutes Q&A)

TING.concept

The ever increasing consumption of digital media in our wireless and always connected world should be good news for the libraries. The interest in and availability of books, film, music and games has never been bigger. But the libraries are stuck with: old systems on proprietary platforms, new requirements implemented slowly, data and function lock in, information silos, an increasing need to integrate incompatible systems for each new data format and supplier and finally a plethora of strange user interfaces far from common internet standards.
