Hello DrupalCon! Have you arrived yet? DrupalCon Portland starts officially tomorrow but come and get your badges and awesome t-shirts. I was going through the session list to pick out what sessions would be most beneficial for me and I wanted to share what I thought were the sessions every digital marketer or Webmaster should attend.Tuesday: 9:00 am – 10:00 am OR 204 - BlackmeshThe Future of Views This session is directed towards site builders and people who have used views before. Views are very powerful in Drupal and as a marketer have allowed me to pull dynamic content fast and keep my website up to date. Drupal 8 will have views in core so I hope to learn what changes will be made from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 in views and how to best prepare for this change. Hope to see you there.

10:15 am – 11:15 am Hall AThe wonders of Drupal This is a beginner session about Drupal, Community and DrupalCon. This session is always given before the “Driesnote” and is fun and educational. You will get some good tips about how to get the most out of your time at DrupalCon. Enjoy

10:15 am – 11:15 am OR 203 - PalantirAsset Management in Drupal 8 This session is focused for front-end developers but as a Webmaster you should know how these things work. This session is going to cover how assets are declared and managed in Drupal 8 and discuss the new possibilities. I think this is worth a listen.

Automate review for security risks with source code analysis

Ben Jeavons's picture
Security issues are created in custom code when developers cut corners during development or don't make proper use of the APIs, among other reasons. There are several ways to discover such issues, including peer-review, code scanners, vulnerability scanning, and even by being exploited -- tho certainly undesirable! While each has its place and individual merits, let’s talk about security-focused... More

Drupal at Hostingcon, Chicago [Updated with Video]

Kieran Lal's picture
The Drupal community got together to help promote Drupal at Hostingcon, in Chicago last week. We learned some important lessons. One hosting company told us they were sponsoring their local Joomla group and had managed to grow it to over 300 users in less than a year. Wow! Hosting companies promoting open source projects. When you consider that hosting companies are paying anywhere from $5 to $200 per affiliate sale providing office space and snacks seems really cheap in comparison. That same company noted that Drupal sent a lot of business their way but they had not set up financial... More

Pretending to be the user

Default avatar
As someone who crafts experiences, I’m often engaged with product owners, developers, marketing folks, etc. As such, I’m like an information funnel. Good or bad, I listen to everyone involved. So you can imagine, I hear a lot of ideas. Usually those idea’s take the form of “If I were the user, I’d expect it to work like...” This unfortunately is a bad practice. You and I, we are not the user. We’re merely one of many. As architects of the applications we’re building, we are so much more advanced than the average user. Drupal is no exception. Currently, the users of Drupal, are by-in-... More

Six Drupal.org redesign proposals received, association votes on Monday

Kieran Lal's picture
Last night I met with Tiffany Farriss and Drupal association board member Larry Garfield at the Palantir offices in Chicago. I was in town for HostingCon. We reviewed the six proposals we received from 6 design firms. The proposals are extensive and the 26 Drupal association members are being provided with the raw proposals to be reviewed. On Monday, August 4th, the Drupal board will meet and Tiffany will present a summary and analysis of the proposals with a recommendation. Some of the design firms have worked on Drupal sites previously so we are able to take a look at their work. Some... More

We are in Alpha

Kieran Lal's picture
We have some good news for Acquia watchers: the Carbon distribution and Spokes network service have entered private alpha testing and are steadily marching towards beta. We've been conducting internal alpha testing for Carbon and Spokes for a few weeks now. One of the nice things about hiring lots of new employees, particularly non-developers, is that you get a lot internal testers. We've been doing internal alpha tests with our sales, support, professional services, and management team. The user feedback is useful, and we've found lots of things to improve. But this kind of feedback is... More
