The Drupal project uses "issue queues" to discuss problems and proposed new features for Drupal core, documentation, and contributed projects. In this presentation, I'll show you the basics of how to report an issue or propose a new feature, how to participate in discussions, the etiquette of reports and responses, and some tips on how to get your proposals accepted.
Presented by Jennifer Hodgdon (jhodgdon), a leader of the D.O. documentation team.
This session will provide an intro Drush, from download and use to rapidly increasing your Drupal site building. We will also talk about Drush Make and maybe how features works with it all.
Very soon, Drupal will bid a fond (ha!) farewell to CVS, and git will step up to the collective plate. In this session, I'll run through what differences you can expect to see on launch day, what changes are further down the road, and talk a bit about how I think git might change Drupal's community workflows right away.
This is not an intro to Git. We hope to schedule a basic Git training early in 2011.
Jay Callicott will demonstrate how creating features can assist in the normal developer's day to day website development. Using 'Features' can help developers streamline development and add clarity and organization to their site structure and code.
He'll also walk through some 'Feature' creation basics because getting up and running can be confusing for newbies. This type of development methodology is a little more advanced should be worth the time investment for Drupal developers.
Views is an incredibly powerful module if you know how to use it. If you know how to extend it, well, you're golden. But how do all of Views' moving parts fit together?
This session will attempt to explain the over-arching design of the Views 2 module, and how one goes about writing plugins, handlers, and supporting new tables. The goal will be to give attendees a sense of how Views is put together, and therefore how to extend it gracefully. There will be much reading of code.
Doug Vann and Hans Riemenschneider take us through the process of converting the Northwestern University Women's Board from a static HTML site to a rich DRUPAL site. The process; the modules used; the decisions as they took http://www.nudevelopment.com/womensboard/ and made http://nuwomensboard.org/
