As a Drupal developer, I am constantly trying to streamline and generally make my processes as efficient as possible. With that said, I have seen tremendous value incorporating Features in just about everything that I do Drupal-related. Recently, I shared a snapshot at a Mediacurrent staff meeting of a more in-depth presentation I would like to do at the upcoming Drupalcamp Atlanta. Basically, I go over the highlights of Features with a short 'how-to' tutorial and then some notes on the general methodology I use when setting up a site. Again, I have gotten into the habit of using Features quite extensively (you could say Everywhere) on my projects so I thought I would share my approach. Oh yeah, please vote for the session or share any feedback on what I can do to enhance the presentation. I would greatly appreciate it. read more »

Register for Drupalcamp Atlanta Drupalcamp Atlanta 2010 is now open for registration and will be held on Saturday, October 2nd from 8am – 5pm at the Georgia Tech Research Institute. Our mission and purpose is twofold: (1.) we want to educate people about Drupal and (2.) further evangelize Drupal within our geographic region. The 2nd annual Drupalcamp Atlanta is an attendee driven, completely volunteer initiative modeled after the open, participatory nature of barcamps. We are offering four tracks this year: (1.) Drupal for Beginners (2.) Design, Theming, and Usability (3.) Development and Performance and (4.) Drupal for Business and Services. If you are new to Drupal we definitely want you to come – in fact, during registration we have carved out space and time for a "Drupal Installfest" before the sessions start. read more »

Drupalcamp Atlanta Session Videos One of the over-riding goals of the Drupalcamp Atlanta organizers was to provide as much video footage of the event as possible in order to share back to the community at large. We also heard from a lot of people that had a conflict of interest with the date, were turned away by the weather, or may have attended, and wanted to see two or more sessions that overlapped.

Thanks to some Herculean efforts by folks like Atlanta Drupal User Group members Utzu Logigan and David Fugate our vision is nearing a reality. The video crew has been meticulously editing and processing a lot of footage the last few weeks. We are proud to release 20 videos, and still have several more left to complete – I am told the remaining coverage should be done within a few weeks. read more »

Drupalcamp Atlanta

Last weekend was the first ever Drupalcamp Atlanta, and I am proud to report that things went really well. As I write this, we've had 11 straight days of downpours in metro Atlanta and flooding throughout the city. As a result, we had a higher percentage of no-shows than we would have liked, but about 200 Drupal'ers braved the weather and made it out. read more »
