I am interested in getting articles and pages from Drupal into the production work flow to create a printed document (magazine, newspaper, report, etc.)

WE we get together and share some of this knowledge? At this point this is more an exploration since I have not gone from drupal book to print.

The Facebook Platform allows anyone to create applications which tightly integrate with the Facebook.com website. These Applications can write content to a Facebook user's Profile, News Feed, and also Canvas Pages. This content can be as rich and complex as any website, so Drupal is a natural choice for developing on this platform.

This will be a Birds-of-a-Feather session where we discuss what it means to be in the "business of Drupal". We will talk about how your business relates to the community, if and how you give back, what it means to make money on "free" software, and more. We will also discuss things like time and issue tracking, how we find/train/retain talent, and more broadly how we manage our projects, both in situations where the developers are on site, and the more common occurrence where you are building the site remotely and some/many of the developers are also not working in the same location.

CiviCRM is an open source constituent relationship management solution used by thousands of organisations worldwide.

This session, aimed mainly at PHP-proficient developers, will cover CiviCRM’s internal architecture, the use of CiviCRM APIs and general code overview of the project. This session will be conducted by the CiviCRM’s core development team.

(If you want to learn more about CiviCRM, check out the other session proposal and our website.)

Agenda

In this session, we'll walk through some typical uses of:
* The NetBeans IDE and NetBeans plugins for PHP and Drupal
* Deployment of Drupal to cloud computing services (Network.com, Amazon EC2)
* DTrace PHP and MySQL probes
* OpenSolaris Zones, ZFS, and integrated AMP stack

Goals

Attendees will get a good intro to the open source technologies coming out of Sun that are most relevant to Drupal.

Learn how the Drupal security team helps manage security issues in core in contributed modules.

• Recognizing security vulnerabilities
• What to do if you find a vulnerability
• How to manage vulnerabilities in your modules
• How the Drupal Security team works
• Writing secure code

If you maintain a module, I highly recommend attending.

Drupal is an amazingly flexible content management platform. Which is both great and occasionally frustrating when you set out on a "simple" task, like setting up a wiki. In this session we will go over the various steps needed to configure Drupal 6 to act like Wikipedia, including:

Evaluating and Installing Modules
Creating Content Types
Setting up Views
Configuring Input Filters
Assigning User Roles
Evaluation customization needs
And more

Like your nodes but thought there was something missing? Enter CCK. Have you ever wanted an additional textfield in your nodes? A number of products, a picture of the building, a link to the original author? CCK can do that.

• Node basics – what’s a node, why nodes are awesome, what's wrong with nodes.
• CCK to the rescue! (What's CCK?)
• Fields - what they are and what they do.
• Widgets - what they are and what they do.

This session will be a live version of a howto I wrote up ( http://zivtech.com/node/777 ) on using FeedAPI + FeedAPI Mapper + emfield to create a video aggregation section for a site. I'll also look at other potentially awesome ways to use the mapper, such as pulling in ical feeds to create an aggregated calendar (still fairly experimental).

An introduction to the Slot Machine module, which was recently released in beta for Drupal 5. Slot Machine offers a multi-featured scheduling/publication system, especially useful on sites with a constant stream of incoming content and a regular publication schedule.
