Chris Heuer KeyNote - Drupalcon Paris

Posted Thu, 2009-09-10 20:26 by matthew

First off, an apology. I have much of Chris' Keynote on video, but due to technical difficulties I lost the last chunk of it. I debated posting what I had and have come to the conclusion that some video is better than none.

I thought that Chris had a lot of good points in his presentation about who the Drupal audience/consumer is and how we (as a community) value or diminish value of different contributions.

Whether you agree with his remarks or not, he was animated and interesting to watch.

So, without ado, my shaky video from the second keynote.

Drupal Ingredients for your Website Dish, or Modules You Should Use on Every Site - Drupalcon Paris

Posted Wed, 2009-09-09 00:18 by matthew

Greg Knaddison (Greggles), Ben Jeavons (Coltrane) and Brad Bowman (beeradb) gave a session on modules you might consider using when you build a Drupal site. This was kind of the followup to the session at Drupalcamp Colorado. The first set of videos can be seen on the Camp post - and I had a tripod there so the video is quite a bit more steady - but the presentation in Paris was a little different.

Posted below are the videos from that presentation. I hope they are informative.

Designing Grid Systems Does Not Begin And End With 960 - Drupalcon Paris

Posted Mon, 2009-09-07 21:32 by matthew

Mark Boulton gave a great presentation at Drupalcon Paris on using grids for design covering his design process.

This series of videos covers the session. Sorry, no tripod - the videos were taken with my iPhone.

Hope you enjoy them.

The Economist.com Drupal Presentation

Posted Mon, 2009-09-07 12:12 by matthew

The Economist project really reflected a collaboration between quite a few shops out there with the Economist as the central hub of activity. They worked using several teams all using Scrum meaning that there needed to be a scrum of scrums each day. I found the informal style of the talk easy to watch. Here are my shaky videos of the presentation.

NOTE: Sorry about 5 and 6 being QuickTime - I'm waiting on the embed codes from blip.tv. Click twice to start those videos or click twice to stop them.

Aegir: Build Once, Deploy often. Real life use-cases.

Posted Sun, 2009-09-06 13:58 by matthew

Roel De Meester gave a talk on Aegir at Drupalcon Paris. These are my notes.

The Aegir session covered a basic overview of what and how the system can be used to rapidly deploy instants of Drupal. It culminated with three short case studies of how it is currently being used.

What is Aegir? Aegir is simply a bunch of linux scripts plus a Drupal site. You can think of it as one site to lead them all. The current beta (0.3) is a stable release and can be deployed.

Post Drupalcon Paris Random Thoughts

Posted Sun, 2009-09-06 13:40 by matthew

I'm sitting on a plane from Paris to Philadelphia after Drupalcon. My feeling was very good about the Con. The presentations that I attended were, in general, good. There were a few that were not-so-great, but that's pretty normal. Not all sessions will be great. I took quite a bit of video - not all sessions, but quite a few. I took some notes. I'll get my notes and video up on line as I'm able.

Dries' Keynote Drupalcon Paris

Here are the shaky videos I took yesterday from Dries' "State of Drupal" keynote. Most are on YouTube - one ended up on BlipTV because it ended up being 17 seconds longer than the 10 minute mark.

I hope you enjoy them!
