"Features Everywhere!" Slidecast

Aug 17, 2010

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 »

Aug 2, 2010

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 »

Tags: Drupal | Drupalcamp | Productivity

As a member of the Mediacurrent team, I was lucky enough to be afforded the opportunity to present at this year’s Drupalcamp South Carolina during SouthEast LinuxFest 2010. My topic was predicated around drush, a tool that every Drupal developer should have in their arsenal. The combination of a command line shell with standard Drupal functions and some very useful time saving utilities make drush a powerful Drupal tool. read more »

SouthEast LinuxFest 2010: Aegir Presentation Synopsis

Jun 21, 2010

Tags: Drupal | Drupalcamp | Open Source

At the inaugural South Carolina Drupal Camp, which was held in conjunction with the second annual SouthEast LinuxFest, I was privileged to present on the Aegir Hosting System to a group of awesome Drupalistas. The presentation was an overview of the installation and advantages of the Multisite Management System. Most notably, a site administrator is able to rapidly deploy new Drupal websites simply by selecting an installation profile (be it Drupal, Open Atrium, Pressflow, or other defined profiles) and naming the site. Each site is stored as a node in the Aegir database, and each may be easily administered from the Aegir GUI. Aegir installation has been significantly simplified through a contributed BASH script for Debian-based Linux systems. Thanks to the familiar Drupal initial site setup getting Aegir running on your system is almost as simplified as deploying the new sites themselves. read more »
