Title:

Drupal With Its Pants Off

Your vote:
Level:
Intermediate
Type:
Panel
Category:
Community / Social Networks
Organizer:
Jeff Eaton, Lullabot
Description:
Drupal is an open-source web framework that powers sites like The Onion, Fast Company magazine, MTVUK, Amnesty Online, and innumerable web communities. The Drupal-buzz is growing, but cutting through the hype is a challenge. Should you use Drupal to build your social publishing platform? Will it melt your servers and scare your users, or cure cancer? The panel will also be a chance to grill the the folks who've built some of the biggest and baddest Drupal sites around.

LinuxJournal.com uses Drupal also. It's a great CMS and this talk sounds great -- love the title.

Thanks! The potential panelists and I are looking to make it a "BS-Free" zone for folks looking to decide whether Drupal's a good fit for their needs and -- if so -- how to avoid pitfalls and leverage it effectively. A friend just pointed out that the SXSW site itself is running on Drupal...

Last year's CMS panel (which Lullabot participated on) was great, and this will be of great interest since we're launching a corporate site on Drupal.

Henry, I think the http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/868 session proposed by George DeMet would be excellent as well -- he was the organizer of last years CMS roundup, and it sounds like his panel will be focusing on the "design and execution" aspects...

can't go wrong with a presentation from a person that makes drupal dance ... I would be "pants on"

Best name for a panel ever. I'm very excited to hear your presentation.

The flip side of our "Turn Your Old Media Empire into a New Media Paradise" - we are doing lots of hands-on implementation, but we thought a content-first message would be important.

For many of us who need to move beyond the blog CMS, understanding how to reap the larger rewards while surviving the larger challenges is of paramount importance.
Do it today!
