This presentation discusses Open Atrium, an install profile for Drupal that includes commonly used features out of the box. It works with Aegir and does not modify Drupal core or contrib modules. Open Atrium features can be shared and extended by the community. Upcoming improvements to packaging on Drupal.org may change how install profiles and features are distributed across public and private sources using standard tools like Drush and Aegir.

19. Turn it on and it works
srsly.

20. How?
It depends on things, and has some defaults.

21. Hey, Atrium is like that!

22. Feature: collection of
Drupal parts that do
something specific.

27. How do I share a
feature?
(...this is where it gets tricky)

28. Drupal + Hot Sauce

29. Core + Contrib + Hot Sauce

30. Drupal core lives at
drupal.org

31. Drupal “contrib” lives at
drupal.org

32. Atrium’s “hot sauce”...
$hot_sauce = $install_profile + $custom_modules;

61. <?php
$projects = array(
'drupal' => array(
'version' => '6.13',
'directory_name' => 'featureserver',
),
// Drupal.org hosted projects
'admin',
'cck',
'context',
'features',
'filefield',
'views',
// Projects hosted elsewhere
'fserver' => array('location' => 'http://code.ds.org/fserver'),
'singular' => array('location' => 'http://code.ds.org/fserver'),
'tao' => array('location' => 'http://code.ds.org/fserver'),
);

62. Packaging improvements
on Drupal.org
(or so a little birdy told me)

63. How do I share a
feature?
(I told you it was tricky)

64. Multiple feature servers,

65. distributing ownership

66. ...some using something
that isn’t cvs,

67. ...publishing modules
details in XML
...like what the update module uses.

68. which is aggregated by a
central hub.
...like drupal.org

70. What will this mean for
Atrium?

71. What will this mean for
install profiles?

72. Pull from public and
private sources...

73. ...using standard tools.
(like drush & aegir)

74. This could change how
we all work.
