Talk

I always found project management and client expectation management very challenging - until I found Scrum. Target audience of this session is freelance Drupallers that develop sites individually or with a small team, rather than companies with large teams although it should be informative to anyone who is interested in using Scrum. This introductory session on Scrum will cover: - Why Scrum is often better than traditional approaches - Basics of Scrum - Why Scrum works well for many development projects using Drupal - Useful tools for Scrum - Things to consider when deciding whether to use Scrum - Possible pitfalls and how to avoid them

Commercial enterprise support for Drupal? You bet! Meet Acquia and learn how the future of Drupal has never been brighter. I'll discuss our support model, network services, hosted search solution, and partner program. If you've ever had questions about how you can benefit from Acquia, this is your chance to ask them.

CTISN will showcase two Social Websites/ Portals developed in Drupal. These sites will display the considerations in developing a feature rich site that support and generates income from advertising. During the talk the sites will be demonstrated and discussed on the methodology used for each of the specific markets CTISN catered for. The success and limitations will be highlighted on the projects and how these projects will evolve over time.

Learn how to take you Drupal site and replicate it elegantly using multi sites. Here we demonstrate a user case where a education authority wanted to use a base site with forums, news and blogs and replicate it by clicking a button, changing the site colour using a colour picker, change the logo and let each site has it own individual set of users and it’s own content.

A short introduction on what a Drupal multisite is, benefits for setting up all your sites like this, and how to set them up on a Linux development & hosting environment. Some degree of previous Apache knowledge is expected from attendees. Slides available at http://www.slideshare.net/buddaboy/drupal-multisites
