DrupalCon half-time update
We've had 2 days of DrupalCon so far, and we've got 2 more to go. If the format of the conference to date is any indication, the next 2 days will consist largely of one hour sessions on various topics in relation to the Drupal content management framework. This is good. This is what I came for. This, my friends, is Drupal heaven. Every talk I have attended thus far has been interesting, enlightening and thought provoking. Of particular note for me have been:
- Building APIs That Rock with Jeff Eaton - a great introduction to my first DrupalCon,
- Organic Groups: What It Can Do and Where It’s Headed, with Moshe Weitzman - notably Development Seed's use of Organic Groups (along with Spaces, Context) for their 8 Trees intranet.
- Practical Semantic Web and Why You Should Care with Boris Mann - a glimpse into where the web is heading, and insight into how Drupal can already support RDFa
- A Paradigm for Reusable Drupal Features with Ian Ward, Young Hahn, and Robert Soden - the guys from Development seed explaining their chosen method of speeding development by creating reusable features using Context and Spaces modules.
Really looking forward to the final day of sessions tomorrow, and then the code sprints on Saturday.
