## Drupal South 2014 * Where is it? * When is it? * How big do you expect it to be? (Attendence wise) * What tracks will there be? * Will there be any summits? * What about labs? * How about sprints? * When are session proposals open?    * When do they close? * How can people submit their sessions?

## Backdrop * What is a fork?             * It’s open source, folks! Forks happen! * Why are you forking Drupal? * My initial reaction was that you were starting it because you didn’t want to have to learn all of the new technology being used in D8, and therefore were cornering yourselves in the past... and I thought that eventually, you’d be so far behind, that learning “current technology” would be so cumbersome that you’d just stop learning and improving. I’m sure others are thinking the same thing, so how would you respond to that? * Is the Backdrop fork solely to enable developers comfortable with the current Drupal coding practices to be able to continue working with tools they already know? * What is D8 doing wrong, in your opinion? * What is D8 doing right, in your opinion? * Why are you personally going to use Backdrop instead of D8? Or, will you use both? ## Drupal 8 * I’ve heard a lot about performance. Some say it’s faster than D7, some say it’s slower... What’s the deal? Are some parts faster,

## Tasty Backend * What is Tasty backend? * Why did you create this project? * What are some of the features that come out of the box when you install the module?     * Do recommend people actually use the module? Or just base their installation off of it? ## Use Cases * Who can benefit the most from a setup like the one that comes with Tasty Backend?

## Project * What is the Clean Markup Module?     * Allows a site administrator to configure the markup spit out by blocks and panels.     * Submit feature requests and patches for other modules! * What does the module actually do?     * Blocks:         * On the block configuration page, there's a vertical tab with options for customizing the markup. e.g.:             * Disable or set the HTML5 element to use as the block wrapper,             * Enable or disable an inner div,             * Add classes to the outer block element,             * Add custom attributes (i.e. role="navigation")             * Set the HTML5 element to wrap the title,             * Toggle whether the block title is displayed visually,             * Disable or set the HTML5 element to wrap the content.     * Panels         * Provides a pane style with similar markup options as the blocks.         * Provides a region style with similar markup options as the blocks and panes.             * Also lets you enable or disable separator divs

## Project * What is Drupalfund and what’s the idea behind it?     * Drupalfund.us is a crowdfunding platform for projects related to Drupal. Think of it as a Kickstarter for Drupal.     * The problem which Drupalfund is trying to solve is that as we all know - Drupal development is backed by volunteers (individuals and companies) that donate their money or time to contribute to Drupal. However, most of the development (even core development) happens against the developer's personal free time or his paid hours. Because of this many issues, fixes and changes are pushed back and fixed when the developer can steal away some of his time. To be a little more specific I looked at top 25 most installed modules and their issue queues and got some interesting numbers:      * These most installed or most popular modules have in average over 400 issues. It takes in average 279 days to fix & release the module. I know that the critical or security issues get fixed much faster but it still is a long time.     * We

## Project * What is Bugherd? - bugherd is a bug tracker for web designers and developers. it embeds in the website you’re building and allows technical and nontechnical people to collaborate on the website as it’s being built. With a few clicks it allows clients or stakeholders to submit feedback or bug reports. It automatically collects a heap of data about the page, the content and even data about the users system, browser etc making it easier to replicate and resolve issues * Why do Drupal folks need to know about BugHerd? - freelancers and agencies spend time and money building websites for customers and until now have had to rely on screenshots and meetings to get input from their clients. By giving the clients the ability to give feedback directly on the site, it smooths the entire build process.  * There’s a Bugherd module for Drupal. What was/is your involvement with that? - Dave Hall, a drupal contributor, was using BugHerd on a project with a client and created the drupal module to help him work

## Omega 4.x * Omega 3 vs. Omega 4 No Layout Builder UI No predefined breakpoints No dependency on Omega Tools or need for Delta. * Sass, Compass & SMACSS * How does this work with Panels? * Will this be the route going forward for D8? * BEM class naming Syntax * Core CSS Cleanup Easier to override Split up stylesheets * Omega Layouts * Development tools (Guard / Grunt, LiveReload, etc.) * Manage assets (exclude CSS/JS, move JS to footer) * Manage browser compatibility (Chrome Frame, conditional classes, etc.) * Split up preprocess, process and theme functions * Drush Integration     * drush help --filter="omega" * Ohm ## Use Cases * What prompted the major overhaul?     * This reminds me of the conversation going on around D8 right now.     * How long can people keep using 3.x? * What does this mean for site-builders? * What does it mean for themers? * How does Omega 4.x compare to other base themes like AdaptiveTheme and Aurora? * When should we expect a stable release? ## Questions from Twitter *

## Sprints * What are sprints? * When are they? * How did they get started? * Who can participate in the sprints?

## Track (Ivo) * What is the theme of the track? Difficult question, since we are actually trying to cover a really broad spectrum of topics for all kinds of audiences. We are still in the process of deciding on the final schedule, but there will be sessions on distributions (bojan -- commerce without borders), site building changes coming with D8 (kristof), hopefully we'll have a great case study session and so on. We do try to align these sessions with DrupalCon's “One to Many”-theme * What’s the spread of D7 vs. D8 session proposals that have come in?  Traditionally, Site Building relies heavily on contrib, which is a bit behind the curve when it comes to D8 adoption, so most of the session proposals are still focused on Drupal 7. We do have a featured session focussing on D8 ## Session * Bojan what’s the name of your session, and what will you be talking about? Commerce without borders I'm going to be talking about building an ecommerce solution for the global market, and all the problems that go with it.

## Track * What is the theme of the track? I tried to make the theme consistent with the overall DrupalCon Prague theme of “One to many”.  Leveraging new paradigms in Drupal 8: improving your projects and workflows Drupal as an application platform Integrating Drupal’s API with other systems and libraries So we really want to present Drupal as a unifying platform, that can consolidate many technologies.  Part of that is what Alex is going to talk about in his featured session - removing some of the Drupalisms that we have all gotten used to in favour of incorporating best-of-breed open source components from outside the community. I think Symfony’s components are the most obvious example there, but there are a lot of other components too (like Guzzle, Doctrine). Another element is the general move to OO, PSR-0, and the adoption of modern design patterns which bring us up to date with other major PHP projects. The plumbing is there now to integrate with other frameworks - and we’re doing that. I’ve kind o

## Track * Jochen, what is DevOps? and what is your vision for the track at DrupalCon Prague? * The DevOps track covers all aspects of bringing Drupal websites into operation -- and making sure that they meet the demand of the business. This only works when development and operations work hand in hand -- hence, DevOps. In DevOps, the core characteristics can be summed up as “CAMS”: Culture, Automating, Measuring, Sharing. Culture means that people and process go first. In Automation, we use tools to get our processes working end-to-end. If we want to improve, we need to measure. And with the sharing of our insight and experience, we’re back to culture again. DrupalCon is a great place to talk about DevOps, and especially DrupalCon Prague with its “One to many” topic. Most of us start our infrastructure with one server and scale from there. IT teams as well grow from a single developer to a group of people. I’m very excited to have some great speakers on my track! ## Session * Jon, What’s the title of your ses

## Track * What is the theme of the Business and Strategy track? * What kinds of sessions are you hoping to have submitted? ## Session * What’s the title of your session, and what is it going to be about?

## Track * What exactly is the Community Summit? * Why did you kill the community track? * Now, if someone has a community session, what do they do?

## Global Track Chairs * Who is the global team and what do they do? Rick: The global team is our organizational memory in putting on DrupalCons. They have been local track chairs and they consult with the locals to guide us away from potholes and toward the best sessions. We have a North American and a European global track chair for our standing track: Coding & Development, Frontend, Site Building, Business and Strategy, and DevOps. Link: https://association.drupal.org/drupalcon/global-team * Jozef, what is your role in DrupalCon Prague? Jozef: My role is to help the local track chair with anything he needs help with:) So mostly it is to support him, discuss various issues that arise during the whole preparation process and mostly during the session selection process. ## Track * Jozef, who do you work with on the Frontend track for Prague? Jozef: Together with my US global co-chair Ken Woodworth we work mostly with Jesper Woeldiche who is the local track chair and is doing an amazing job! * What is t
