Scrum is a collection of working techniques, structures, roles and methods for project management in an agile development process. Because every project is unique, Scrum is designed in such a way that it can be arranged to suit different situations. Techniques of Scrum will help you overcome issues that traditional methods could not resolve, drive projects at a fast pace and keep everyone engaged.

This introductory session on Scrum is designed for freelance Drupal developers and Drupal development shops that have never used Scrum for their projects before.

Session

The distribution options for digital media creators (musicians, filmmakers, photographers and artists in general) are bewildering: Songbird, MySpace, Facebook, iTunes, YouTube, Napster, etc, etc...

Wouldn't if be great if we could upload our content and write descriptions and lyrics to one place - a place that we controlled and owned - and then these files and associated metadata got spread out to all the distribution points that we wanted, automatically?

Speaker bio:

Paying for the plumbing

Allie Micka — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 03:56:02 +0000

It's easy to make a living building Drupal solutions, and there's a good business case for contributing your work. But increasingly, we all depend on "tools to build tools", such as CCK, Views, Drupal core enhancements, and other frameworks or API's that make our work point-and-click.

How do we fund these initiatives, or other work that provides a long-term return on investment, without any immediate gains in the short term?

Speaker bio:

Allie Micka, and her company Advantage Labs, have been longtime Drupal developers and community advocates. Their primary focus is to provide a sustainable platform for managed drupal hosting, training and community participation, and to continue to support the development of Drupal modules for Mail, CRM, Geospatial and community engagement solutions.
