Linked Data Publishing with Drupal (SWIB13 workshop)Joachim Neubert
Publishing Linked Open Data in a user-appealing way is still a challenge: Generic solutions to convert arbitrary RDF structures to HTML out-of-the-box are available, but leave users perplexed. Custom-built web applications to enrich web pages with semantic tags "under the hood" require high efforts in programming. Given this dilemma, content management systems (CMS) could be a natural enhancement point for data on the web. In the case of Drupal, one of the most popular CMS nowadays, Semantic Web enrichment is provided as part of the CMS core. In a simple declarative approach, classes and properties from arbitrary vocabularies can be added to Drupal content types and fields, and are turned into Linked Data on the web pages automagically. The embedded RDFa marked-up data can be easily extracted by other applications. This makes the pages part of the emerging Web of Data, and in the same course helps discoverability with the major search engines.
In the workshop, you will learn how to make use of the built-in Drupal 7 features to produce RDFa enriched pages. You will build new content types, add custom fields and enhance them with RDF markup from mixed vocabularies. The gory details of providing LOD-compatible "cool" URIs will not be skipped, and current limitations of RDF support in Drupal will be explained. Exposing the data in a REST-ful application programming interface or as a SPARQL endpoint are additional options provided by Drupal modules. The workshop will also introduce modules such as Web Taxonomy, which allows linking to thesauri or authority files on the web via simple JSON-based autocomplete lookup. Finally, we will touch the upcoming Drupal 8 version. (Workshop announcement)
Databases require capacity planning (and to those coming from traditional RDBMS solutions, this can be thought of as a sizing guide). Capacity planning prevents resource exhaustion. Capacity planning can be hard. This talk has a heavier leaning on MySQL, but the concepts and addendum will help with any other data store.
A decade ago, the database was assumed to be a solved problem. Relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite to name a few) were dominating the database market and hierarchical databases (LDAP, DNS) where regarded as niche solutions. The NoSQL revolution surely changed the concept of what a database can be. At the same time, the popularity of mobile devices exploded. This talk will dive into how data structures are persisted and queried on mobile devices today, and try to revive the old question: is the database really a solved problem?
CloudFlare looked at several NoSQL and SQL solutions and ended up with a hybrid model where many Kyoto Cabinet DBs are accessed via a Postgres wrapper. This presentation describes the resulting novel architecture which combines the horizontal scalability of NoSQL solutions with the flexibility and stability of SQL.

This presentation was from Joomla day 2016 held right here in KLCC Malaysia. Astiostech presented several important factors to consider when monitoring a web service with of course special focus on Joomla. However, these guidelines can be used for just about any web service you may want to monitor. Monitoring is pivotal to a web infrastructure and it should not be considered today as a luxury. With tools like Nagios XI, we can simply start monitoring with mere clicks of a web browser and you're pretty much on the right track.

Getting Started With Jenkins And DrupalPhilip Norton
Jenkins is a really powerful tool for automating things like code analysis, testing and even deployment. Getting started with Jenkins, especially with Drupal, is a challenge and can be quite difficult for a beginner to the system. In this session I'll show you how to install Jenkins, how to configure things like authentication and then how to do some interesting things with the tool. I'll show some real life examples of things that can be done with the tool on your Drupal sites to do things like run cron jobs, syntax check the code or even automatically copying code to your web servers.

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.
Creating a Reusable Drupal Website for Higher Education - at USG Tech DaySuzanne Dergacheva
Setting up a single website is as easy as pie. But creating
dozens or hundreds of similar websites is more like running
a pie factory. In this session, we’ll talk about techniques for
running multiple, similar websites using the Drupal content
management system.
We’ll walk through the steps for creating a re-usable Drupal
platform for a small university. We’ll also talk about the
challenges and benefits that result from a multi-site setup, and
its impact on content strategy, design, and site architecture.

DevOps has been an emerging trend in the software development world for the past several years. While the term is relatively new, it is really a convergence of a number of practices that have been evolving for decades. Unfortunately, database development has been left out of much of this movement, but that's starting to change. As database professionals, we all need to understand what this important change is about, how we fit in, and how to best work database development practices into the established DevOps practices.
One of the cornerstones of the DevOps methodology is source control. When most people think of source control, they picture a tool - either a traditional, centralized system like TFS, or a newer, distributed system like Git. Source control is more than a tool, though; human processes and practices also play a critical role in an effective source control (and DevOps) implementation. In this session, we'll talk in depth about both types of source control systems and how you can effectively use source control for your databases.

4. WHAT IS A DRUPAL PLATFORM?
Platform technology is a term for technology that enables the creation
of products and processes that support present or future
development.
It can be defined as a structural or technological form from which various
products can emerge without the expense of a new
process/technology introduction.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_technology
7. WHAT IS A DRUPAL PLATFORM?
Benefits of starting with a platform
•Removes typical overhead
• Finding/installing modules
• Permissions
• Roles
•Provides bundled functionality
• Features!
• CommonViews
• Default Contexts
•Common CMS workflows
8. WHAT IS A DRUPAL PLATFORM?
Things to keep in mind
•One size doesn’t fit all
•Usually have to customize some behaviors
•Not all bundled features might apply
•Custom UX
10. WHAT IS DRUPAL MULTI-SITE?
Multi-site allows you to share a single Drupal installation (including
core code, contributed modules, and themes) among several sites.
This is particularly useful for managing the code since each upgrade
only needs to be done once. Each site will have its own database and
its own configuration settings, so each site will have its own content,
settings, enabled modules, and enabled theme.
http://drupal.org/documentation/install/multi-site
12. WHAT IS DRUPAL MULTI-SITE?
Benefits of Drupal multi-site
•One codebase
• Easy to update contrib and platform code
• Easy to roll out security patches quickly
• Common code == common behavior
• “Single” cloud deployment, easier to scale
•Support
• Common set of features/functionality
• Consistent admin experience
• Simplifies training for content managers
13. WHAT IS DRUPAL MULTI-SITE?
Things to keep in mind
•One codebase
• More difficult to add new modules/themes per site
• Greater care required in QA for new code
• Dev vs production environment differences
• Virtual host management
•Support
• Changes affect all sites
• Managing site owners’ expectations
15. PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER!
