Following the Drop: the future of Ubercart

Island Usurper — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:23:42 +0000

"The Drop is always moving." And for the past year, the Drop has been moving pretty quickly. Drupal 7 is bringing us many great features and development tools, but it's up to us contributed module developers to make use of them.

Even though the Ubercart developers have been busy working on Ubercart 2.0, we've also been brainstorming on ways to use the new techniques available in Drupal 7 and even D6 that haven't been fully implemented yet. Discussion will center on these plans as well as thinking of even more ideas that we may have missed.

Speaker bio:

Ubercart, and by extension Drupal, has been Lyle's bread and butter for about three years. He claims responsibility for roughly half of the modules in Ubercart, though you might see him dabbling in other open source projects here and there.
