I'll walk you through how to get a wysiwyg editor up and running on your drupal site in a few simple steps. I'll cover the basics like how to get Bold and Italic buttons, and also more complicated things like in-line image placement. I also have few words for you on best practices around input filters and role-based usage.

My favorite combination of modules for setting up a WYSIWYG editor are:
WYSIWYG API (http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg)
IMCE (http://drupal.org/project/IMCE)
IMCE WYSIWYG API bridge (http://drupal.org/project/imce_wysiwyg)

This session will be divided in 2 parts:

• In first part (20 min) I am going to discuss about
  1. Socializing Your Web Using Open Authentication and how it could drive more traffic to you sites.
  2. Why open standard authentication systems should be implemented?

  For more details I recently wrote a blog about it here http://civicactions.com/blog/2009/may/31/google_io_goole_wave_and_social...

Quality Assurance is Good for Business. But most of the times it is avoided to deliver product at competitive price. Contrib modules and themes can provide great advantage or great frustration to the end user. I'll discuss some standard and not-so-standard techniques that help ensure the delivery of quality Drupal sites that are a joy to use.

Agenda:

• Why Quality Assurance is important?
• Covering basics of Selenium Framework?
• How to write tests and test suits using Selenium Framework.

You don't have to start from scratch to build a powerful, modern Web site. In this session, we take you through the organizational planning and Drupal development work currently underway to upgrade the The Public Press web site into a modern news destination.

The Public Press (www.public-press.org) is a San-Francisco-based news organization that covers issue of importance to the SF Bay Area -- without accepting advertiser dollars. The site was originally built on Drupal 5 with a blog-like format. We'll give you a sneak peak at the upgraded Drupal 6 site, which goes far beyond.

With both Google and Yahoo's support of RDFa, the increasing use of topic hubs for SEO and the growing use of tools like Zemanta and Open Calais, publishers are realizing immediate value from semantic technologies today.

This session will introduce content delivery stake holders and developers alike to the principles behind semantic technologies and identify the ways these technologies can increase both short and long term value for publishers.

Getting involved with Drupal brings with it a significant initial learning curve. With Drupal there are so many possibilities which exist and more are available every day. So the challenge of how to 'tackle' your Drupal development effort is compounded by the matter of staying current with the ever changing Drupal world. Facing these conditions it's no wonder that many Drupalers feel like they frequently 'take one step forward and two steps back'...

In this session Caleb Gilbert, who came to Drupal four years ago knowing "just HTML" and is now very active in the Drupal community, and leads a multiperson development team for a large Drupal site, will share tools, tips, and experience which will help you manage your learning curve, rather than being managed by it.

Topics covered

The short-term, "getting starting":

Long-term

iLoveBolly.com is a social network built with Drupal targeting the Indian entertainment segment (Movies, Songs, Celebrities, TV Serials, Videos, Images, ....

This case study is intended to target both Drupal experts and newbies as a "What (more) can you do with Drupal?" session.

Proposed Agenda:

1. iLoveBolly Introduction : Aim, Audience, Scope.
   
2. Feature List to be Discussed:
   • Brief Architecture : Discuss a few custom content types, some views, taxonomy, information architecture

Panels is a module (http://drupal.org/project/panels) which allows for complex layouts and administration of content within these pages. New in Panels 3 is the ability for a theme to provide custom styles for panels and entire layouts. This new approach allows themers to define style options which are then easily selectable through the administration interface, allowing site editors to further customize pages.

This session is for:

• Themers who want to add Panels styles to their themes
