Under the covers of Drupal Commons - the "Instant Community" distributionAcquia
Drupal Commons is a pre-assembled Drupal distribution you can use to build a community site. Whether for internal collaboration or for an open community, Drupal Commons slashes the work required to stand your site up.
In this webinar, find out what’s inside Commons, and how to use it – and extend it.
Drupal Commons doesn’t limit you to the use cases that work out-of-the-box. You can still add modules, customize the theme, and extend Commons using normal Drupal practices to build a site that integrates Commons-style functions with your own unique needs.
This webinar will cover the modules in use, the content types, views, contexts, features, theme elements and all the other components that are in Drupal Commons. In addition, it will cover how the Drupal Commons community itself is organized, and how you can contribute back enhancements to Commons that you create

Notes/Domino Application Development Competitive Advantage - UKLUG 2011 EditionJohn Head
Some organizations are neglecting or under-utilizing one of the greatest IT assets in their portfolio today - the Notes/Domino application platform. Some are even considering re-coding Domino applications in other languages and development tools. In this session we present the business case and technical merits of Notes and Domino in direct comparison to other tools such as Microsoft SharePoint. Based on data collected from real-world engagements we will demonstrate the positive return on investment of the Notes platform. We will also discuss PSC’s “Application Modernization” strategy and how it helps move customers from merely maintaining Notes applications to increasing their value with XPages and advanced collaboration functionality. By John Head (@johnhead) and Ted Stanton (@tedstanton)
This presentation discusses the power of community development, open source as a disruptive force in the market, and enterprise success stories with Drupal.
Presented at the ISEC 2008 (1st India Software Engineering Conference, Hyderabad) on the subject of “Software Engineering in the age of Web2.0”, available at the website http://www.cse.iitd.ernet.in/~sigcse/isec2008/workshop.htm
Share Point, The Right CMS For Your Website?NavigationArts
Learn about how to evaluate content management systems (CMS) and select the right tool for your business. If you're considering either Microsoft SharePoint or Sitecore for your CMS, you'll want to see how these tools stack up in the evaluation process.
DrupalCamp ATL 2010: Not all CMSs are created equalandrewmriley
How many times have you had a client say to you "But my kid brother says we should really use CMS X", "Our IT guy says Drupal isn't 'Enterprise'" or "We're moving from CMS Y and we hate it, why should we go with CMS X?"
This talk will be a comparison of various CMS platforms across PHP, ASP.NET and JAVA (closed source, open source, free and pay) to better enable you to make informed decisions for yourself and your customers. This session won't be overly technical but it will be focused for users who understand basic CMS concepts. I highly recommend it for anybody who will be involved in the CMS decision making or sales process for a CMS based project.
I have a small confession to make, Drupal was the first CMS I used and interestingly enough it gave me a very warped view of the landscape. When the time came for me to use other CMSs, I was shocked at the features (or lack of) that some offered. Fast forward to a few years later, I had a client come to me and ask which CMS I would use for their large project. After about 10 seconds deliberation I said Drupal, it's been my go-to for over three years now -- of course Drupal would work for what they wanted. Well, it turned out that Drupal couldn't offer exactly what the client actually needed so it was time to put on the research cap and really take a look at what's out there. To make a long story short I fell for the classic "When all you have is a hammer..." when it turns out for some parts of the project there were better tools (and for some parts, Drupal was the still right CMS).
Join me as I walk you through the decision making proces that we followed, the CMSs we reviewed, their strengths, weakness and overall questions that you just know the client is going to ask.
Disclamer: This won't be a Drupal, Drupal, rah-rah-rah (biased) talk.
I'll cover:
Why choose one CMS over another?
Strengths and weaknesses of the CMSs.
Comparison projects between two CMSs to show the time/cost difference.
Saas CMS vs hosting your own.
The dreaded "Enterprise" word
How does Drupal 6/7 stack up?
What I won't cover:
Language vs Language
Hosting architectures (aside from SaaS)
Presentation by Brett Baker, Web Manager at The Children's Aid Society given at Drupal Camp Atlanta 2010 on October 2, 2010. The talk discussed how a single person or small team can leverage the Drupal CMS to tackle difficult deliverables.
"Your customer data flows faster each day, which is why collecting, organizing, and doing something meaningful with it is just good business.
But, it can be tough to do.
Stashing data in different places across your organization to come back (hopefully) later is a great way to mismanage or lose it. Squirrels can stash, but enterprises can’t.
You need a customer data platform (CDP). A central command center that securely holds your customer data and lets you organize it according to your goals.
The thing is, what’s best for you? A CDP out-of-the-box? Building a customer data solution yourself? There’s merit in both options, and this webinar is here to help you narrow down what’s best for your business. Acquia, Bounteous, and Appnovation will show you:
How a single source for customer data storage can mitigate risk and optimize customer experience
How central data governance will help your customer data strategy once the almighty Google takes away cookies
The comprehensive CDP build-or-buy checklist + CDP must-haves for your budget
First-party data management that keeps your customers' data safe and your business booming
It’s 10 PM, do you know where your data is?"

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
