Overview

There will be a lot of work on Drupal Documentation in this DrupalCon and we may spend some time discussing a new home for the Docs, as a part of Drupal.org redesign process. I've been working lately on a prototype and I would like to bring up some brainstorming on the website and the docs needs. Some few more details in this blog post.

Agenda

Most issues concerning this website will be discussed at Doc Sprint planning and will be discussed in this BoF only if discussion is still needed.

After a very short presentation of the prototype, we will discuss some issues specific to the Docs.Drupal.Org website, such as:

* Documentation - What should be in Drupal Docs website, what should not be? What model is the prototype assuming?
* Design - how we'll present content in the website
* Programming - how we'll address the needs of the documentation team.

Goals

The goal of this session is decide how we'll make the prototype a real docs.drupal.org website and schedule work for Doc Sprint.

Amanda Giovanni, Director of Enterprise Risk Management of CommonPlaces, Erich Breyrent, VP of Engineering of CommonPlaces, Matthew Nash, Cyber Security Consultant of Katalyst Strategies, and Arian Evans of Whitehat, will present findings from the third quarter 2008 Web Application Security Statistics Report.

Based on real-world data from thousands of Web application assessments, The presentation will provide a look at the top vulnerabilities that attackers are exploiting to steal corporate and customer data from public and intranet websites.

Overview

A survey of open source tools for improving efficiency of Drupal coding, deployment, testing, and system resource utilization.

Agenda

In this session, we'll walk through some typical uses of:
* NetBeans PHP and Drupal plugins
* Deployment to cloud computing service (Network.com)
* DTrace PHP and MySQL probes
* OpenSolaris Zones, ZFS, and integrated AMP stack

Goals

Attendees will get a good intro to the open source technologies coming out of Sun that are most relevant to Drupal.

There is already a session about Facebook Application development. The session is scheduled for 11am on the 28th. At that time I'll talk about what a Facebook App is and tools for building them on Drupal.

This BoF will be a chance to work with the modules and ask questions specific to your own site. Perhaps even get your site running on Facebook, if you have not tried to do so already.

I'll be there to answer questions and help troubleshoot. So this is a good chance to get started if you haven't worked with Facebook before. And a good chance to ask questions if your stuck on any particular feature.

If you want to contribute to the Drupal for Facebook project, we can talk about the best ways to do that.
