We got to the point where the old Drupal mantra of creating content first to see it later is not enough to suceed with content editors. Drupal is competing and replacing other CMS and platforms where the lack of flexibility is the problem #1 for content editors. They are expecting full flexibity on how content is created, displayed, approved and published. However this introduce a common problem for web developers and site builders: how can you provide this full flexibility without having to be constantly on the hook for further development or configuration.
Modules like panels and panelizer, projects like Spark and distributions like panopoly and demo framework helped change the panorama in Drupal and the expectations that are set when sites are built.
In this session we will look to a set of common problems and real examples when creating content and layout for pages with demanding editorial teams. We will look and evaluate common options and recipes.
- How can complex content and rich pages be structured ? Free HTML format in different fields? Structured data in complex fields? Use paragraphs or field collection? Different content items in different items/entities? How to glue it all together?
- How can indivual page layout be managed providing flexibility but also control? Rely on templating system and view modes? Use contrib modules like panels and panelizer or display suite? Mix several approaches and modules?
- How can I add any content to any page and choose its display ? How can I have a list of curated widgets ready to use by the content team to deploy anywhere or in any section?
- How can pages and sections be managed before approved and published? Use prewiew systems and inline editors? Use workbench or workflow for layout? Rely on more complex content staging systems? Use separated environments?
These are daily problems that architects and developers face in every project. As a technical architect in Acquia it is uncommon a project where I am involved that does not need to solve one or more of these problems. In this session I will give some real examples and resume options and recipes that can be used to solve those problems today in Drupal 7 and look to Drupal 8 to explain how it can improve some of our possibilities and options and easy the life of one of our most important personas: the content editor.

My Site is slow - Drupal Camp London 2013hernanibf
Drupal is a powerful and flexible tool to create web applications without building everything from scratch. This ability can drive developers to build complex websites without understanding what is Drupal doing behind the scenes.
The majority of Drupal performance talks mostly focus in aspects like infrastructure changes, caching strategies or comparisons between modules and architectures. Unfortunately when performance problems occur, development teams also follow strategies to replace different aspects of the platform looking only to standard aspects like slow queries without understanding and profiling the real problem.
The majority of times it is fundamental to measure and analyze what is the application is actually doing to understand te real problems. Drupal is a platform used by million of websites worlwide and its performance can in most cases be compared after measured.
In Acquia we do dozens of performance assessments per year, and even in most clients we find the same problems, often we find situations that only can be detected when measured and analized when looking to a profiler report.
In this session, I will explain how to detect performance problems looking to simple data, from logs to profiler data and providing some nice targets that can be analyzed to understand what is causing the uncommon bad performance of a site.
Drupal is a powerful and flexible platform to build websites with rich funcionalities without building almost anything from scratch. This flexibility brought by the usage of a powerful framework and the work of a super active community can abstract people to understand what is Drupal doing behind the scenes.
Most of performance talks regarding Drupal focus on aspects like infrastructure changes, caching strategies, and comparison of performance between modules or platforms. Unfortunately when performance problems occur, development teams also follow several strategies to replace several aspects in their platforms, jump directly to look for slow queries before trying really to understand where is the bottleneck.
However, most of the times what really needs to be done is to look to what the application is doing and understanding why is it taking so long to do it. Drupal is a platform used by million of websites worldwide and its performance is easy to measure and compare.
At Acquia we have done dozens of performance assessments, and even if we usually face the same problems, sometimes we found weird situations that are only possible to be detected when measured. Measuring and profiling is the only way to understand performance problems in a site and provide valid fixes.
In this talk I will explain how to detect problems regarding performance in Drupal, using simple modules like devel, profilers like XhProf and looking to logs to understand the impact done on the application.
One Drupal to rule them all - Drupalcamp Londonhernanibf
Dries famous sentence (http://buytaert.net/one-drupal-to-rule-them-all) is becoming a reality for many organisations from small shops to the enterprise space. More and more stakeholders are following the idea of standardising their online presence in Drupal and leverage the same code and infrastructure amongst their different sites. What they are seeking is a drastic reduction in the time needed to create, launch and configure a Drupal site at the same time that they reduce the maintenance effort of the whole sites' network.
To achieve it, a drastic change needs to happen on the standardisation of development processes, more strict control of the overall architecture while supporting new changes and requirements, and repeatable and trustable deployment process to avoid the opposite pitfall of "one site to break them all".
In this session we will look to what needs to be thought when creating such an architecture from the development process to the infrastructure to host the different environments needed. We will look at different solutions that allow maintain these sites factories and walk you through several architectures explaining their advantages and differences.
Finally, we will look in detail to Acquia's Cloud Site Factory, a fully-hosted SaaS solution that allows organisations to quickly deploy and manage websites by the hundreds. Pre-define site templates, create new sites in a single click, manage roles and permissions across sites and connect to existing analytics and data systems.

Speedrun: Build a Website with Panels, Media, and More in 45 MinutesAcquia
Lightning is an open source starter kit and framework that helps developers tap into the richness of key D8 functionality, and build sites and experiences faster. At DrupalCon the team presented a session where we built an authoring experience live. This was the result of months of planning and practice. In this webinar, we will deconstruct each step in the build.
The broad concept for the experience we built during the speedrun was a product launch site with social feeds, CRM connected lead capture forms, authoring workflows for content marketers and campaign specific landing pages.
Speedrun steps that we will deconstruct:
-Develop a brand specific theme based on bootstrap using a css styleguide
-Configure a content approval workflow for content marketers and editors
-Configure new panelizer layouts, set defaults for editors and long-scroll landing pages using panels
-Create views-based social feeds, with curation based on a taxonomy

Developing Custom WordPress Themes for ClientsSteven Slack
Should you develop custom themes for clients? When is it necessary? Why should you build custom themes for clients? Things that will be covered in this talk include, starting a theme from scratch, theme boilerplates, working with clients through the process, cost, performance, properly planning theme architecture around clients content, integrating with plugins and custom plugins, presentation vs functionality, updates and maintenance, shipping and installing the theme, training clients, populating site with content, and getting paid!!
So your company has decided to take its documentation mobile. Great!
But just saying “go mobile” is too vague. Is it an app? Responsively designed online help? A mobilized web site? Something else? What effect might going mobile have on your documentation efforts? That’s the subject of this presentation.
We’ll first look at various definitions of “mobile” including apps, responsive design, mobilized web sites, and more – their pros and cons, and tools you can use to create them. We’ll then look at how you might have to change your documentation practices in order to move to mobile, such as requiring greater syntactical rigor, eliminating local formatting, using relative fonts and media queries to create resizable tables and content, and more.
You’ll leave this presentation with a solid understanding of options for going mobile and how your work may have to change to stay on the cutting edge of technical communication.
Choosing Drupal as your Content Management FrameworkMediacurrent
In Kendall Totten's presentation, "Choosing Drupal as a Content Management Framework for Your Next Project" she covered questions such as:
-What is Drupal and what makes it great?
-What is involved with building & theming a Drupal site?
-How to get a Drupal site off the ground quickly
-The difference between a base theme and a regular theme
-Modules that make theming easier
Thinking of upgrading your website to Drupal 8 or using Drupal 8 for a new project? In this webinar, we'll talk about the benefits of Drupal 8 and the killer features that will make you want to upgrade.
We'll also discuss challenges of upgrading, major changes from previous versions of Drupal, and the steps you'll have to go through during the upgrade process.
This webinar covers:
Knowledge of the benefits of Drupal 8
Overall understanding of the upgrade process
An overview of which contributed moduels and themes are ready for Drupal 8
Some ideas for migrating your content and configuration
Tools and resources to use during your upgrade
Goal of the session is to explore some case studies for advanced content types to meet the needs of government agencies.
This session will cover recent government case studies for taking content types to a whole new level to allow our clients control over:
Order of content
Moderation of content
Revisioning of content
Bundle Publishing
Using tools such as Rules, Workbench, Node References, Context, and many more!
We'll go over the decision making process and why content types were a better route than nodequeues or simple view filters.
Drupal 8 sets a new standard for ease of use, and allows users to create and deploy content in a whole new way. You’ve seen the platform designed for Drupal, now see Drupal designed for the platform.

Spark: Authoring Experience++ in Drupal 7, 8, and BeyondAngela Byron
Spark is an initiative led by Acquia's Office of the CTO under Dries Buytaert, the Drupal project lead. We take a holistic look at Drupal's competition and design and implement features to help close the gaps.
One big gap that has consistently held Drupal adoption back is that of the out-of-the-box content authoring experience. Hand-typing HTML like it's 1994, previews that aren't actually previews, and interfaces that are unusable on a mobile device all present big challenges for those coming to Drupal. While all of these problems have numerous workarounds in contrib, Spark's goal is to improve the Drupal product itself to eliminate this friction innately, so site builders can spend less time smoothing out rough edges and more easily focus on what they came to Drupal to do: build their actual sites. :)
Spark is both a Drupal distribution and a set of discrete modules for both Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 (in many cases, Drupal 8 core) which can enhance the user experience for your site's content authors, including:
Mobile Friendly Navigation Toolbar
In-Place Editing
Responsive Preview
WYSIWYG editing
Improved Accessibility
Redesigned Administration Theme
...and more!
This talk will focus on demonstrating these new features and explain how site builders can take advantage of them, as well as talk about what the next areas of focus for the Spark team will be for Drupal 9 and beyond.
Drupal’s template system is great, but for content editors with little to no PHP experience, it can be tough to create custom page layouts. If you need to spin up a dynamic page quickly or create a new page layout, Panels is the module for you! Panels allows you to create dynamic, flexible layouts using views, static content, and module content. Additionally, it allows you to override page layouts that you wouldn’t normally have access to via the Drupal administration UI. This session will introduce the functionality available in Panels as well as best practices for organization and display.
Drupal Europe 2018: Hackers automate but the drupal community still downloads...hernanibf
“Automatic Updates for Drupal” was, is and will be a matter of debate. In this open discussion, we want to welcome everyone who wants to learn more about the current state of update processes within the Drupal Community, and especially about possible future scenarios in Drupal.
We welcome everyone who’s interested in joining the discussion about auto update possibilities and bringing in critical reflections.
Aiming for automatic updates - Drupal Dev Days Lisbon 2018hernanibf
Drupal recents security updates resulted in many hours of work for different professionals involved in maintenance of Drupal websites from developers to operations teams.
New Drupal 8 release cycle is also requiring organisations to spend more time guaranteeing that their websites are following last minor core release so their sites are updated and ready to receive new features and security updates.
Nevertheless, even with the increasing required effort, we still don’t have an easy way to support automatic updates in Drupal core but options start to appear.
In this session I will talk about different possible alternatives that can minimize the effort to automatically update Drupal while still maintaining best practices in all the required phases.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

§ Readapt site purpose on special events.
§ CMS should be easy to understand, fast to
execute and free of problems J

Problem
§ Disconnection between content and layout.
§ Disconnection between site building and
content edition.
§ Drupal mantra of create content first, and it will
display on different sections automagically.
§ Lack of revisioning system in many pieces of
the puzzle (menus, taxonomy, blocks).
11. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
#1 Problem – Content Structure
A. Free form HTML.
B. Structured inclusive content including all items.
C. Structured referenced content with references
among items.
D. Unreferenced content being added through
layout.
12. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
Option A - Free form HTML
§ Typically is never a good solution, but in theory
can give a lot of flexibility.
§ Hard to maintain consistency.
§ Hard to reuse content.
§ WYSIWYG hard to use and manage even with
placeholders.
§ Hard to avoid errors from Content Editors (CE’s)
13. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
Option B – Inclusive content
All content details are stored in the content item
using fields. Good for pages with lots of details
reused elsewhere.
Typical implementations:
• Compound fields (custom or contributed).
• Field collection module / Paragraphs module.
15. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
Option C – Referenced content
Different parts of content items are split in different
entities which are referenced from the main entity.
Typical implementations:
§ Entity reference field with inline entity form.
§ Extra modules like references dialog module can
help on browsing existing content.
§ Back references to help glue content (CER).

#2 - Manage individual page layout
How do I create a new rich page layout in Drupal?
Options:
A. Core template system
B. Display suite
C. Panels / Panelizer
18. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
Template system
• Prepare different Drupal templates that are
selected depending on some attributes (node
type, field, etc..).
• Use display modes and template suggestions to
pick the correct template.
19. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
Display suite
View modes created by configuration. Drag and
drop fields with different formatters for different
regions.
§ Most of the layout/style can be done by site
builders.
§ Good to maintain consistency between view
modes.
21. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
Panels
• Customized layouts for different means, including
for entity layout.
• Support creation of pages with custom/fixed
layouts.
• Fits well with the idea of widgets than can be drag
and dropped and configured in different regions.
22. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
How to create pages with panels?
Different ways of creating pages:
• Create independent panels.
• Page manager with variants.
• Panel nodes.
• Panelizer
23. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
Panelizer
• Panel display associated with an entity.
• Panelize an entity and add panes and fields to
different regions.
• Slick interface with Panels IPE.
• You can try in Panopoly or Lightning
distribution.
24. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
Ctools content types
• Configuration per instance where the pane is
present (e.g: A view that receives configuration
that depends from page to page.
• Fieldable Panel Panes (FAPE)
• Panels In place editor (IPE)
• Panopoly magic
• Panopoly widgets
29. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
#4 – Workflow and Preview
• Easier to achieve when rich content exists as a unit.
• Harder to achieve with lots of referenced content.
• Easier to achieve when layout stores all the needed
configuration and is associated with revisions
(panelizer).
• Important to think about responsive (responsive
preview helps).
30. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
#5 - Workflow of complex items
Directly in production
§ Limited if not well
addressed.
§ Dependency on revision
system.
§ Panelizer integrates with
with workbench
moderation (with patches)
J
Different environments,
and deploy to production
• Tricky balance between
content and configuration.
• Configuration can be
shipped in code.
• Content is quite complex
to achieve
31. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
#5 - Workflow of complex items
Directly in production
Modules like:
• Quick edit and panels in
place editor contextual
links.
• Workbench or workflow
• Site Preview System.
Different environments
Modules like:
• Deploy module and
associated suite can
ship content together
with associated items.
32. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
#6 – Final words – Non tech
• Content editors are amongst the most important
project’s stakeholders.
• They know the content and how the website will
work after architects and developers leave.
• They care about what they see and not how does it
work.
• Should be involved from Discovery phase to User
Acceptance Testing.
33. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
#7 – Final words - tech
Success typically means
• To be able to correctly preview
• To be able to edit in place where content
appears
• To be able to create and review content and
layout.
• To be flexible and provide options for edge
cases
34. #DrupalcampSpain2015@hernanibf
#8 - Drupal 8
• In place editor (Quickedit module)
• Better support for configuration management
• Better support for entity revisions
• Better support for some layout management
• Some of the modules already ported to D8
