Cisco BoF workshop room

Overview

I am planning on heading up a documentation sprint during the August 31 "code" sprint. I'd like to get like-minded folks together to help organize for sprint day so we can make sure there are clear tasks to be done and that we have resources to help people get started. This planning session is open to EVERYONE interested in helping with documentation.

Agenda
- Make a list of groups of docs tasks that people can choose from according to their interests.
- Get volunteers to help out. ;-)
- Figure out how to coordinate the live sprint with an online sprint so folks that aren't there can pitch in too.

Note to organizers: if this could be scheduled earlier in the week rather than later, that would be great.

Overview

Using the Location and GMap modules, it is possible to quickly create sites with maps in Drupal. This BOF will address the ins and outs of using the Location and GMap modules to create a mapping mashup. This will be oriented towards end-users and will focus on configuring the modules and creating several maps using Views.

Agenda

• Installing GMap and Location--what you're getting and non-obvious details
• GMap and Location out of the box
• Generating custom maps
• Basic theming of map markers and bubbles

Goals

People should walk away from this session with an understanding of how to create a simple Drupal-based mapping site.

Resources

This BOF will use the Location and GMap modules; participants will not need to be familiar with the modules beforehand.

Overview

With Boston state of Drupal introducing the future (Drupal 7 and beyond). It seems time that researchers get united to build an academic support for Drupal. What better way to do this than find grands that can support the initiative?

After some discussion and some investigation, the IAPP call of the EU-framework looks appropriate. The goal of the call is to bring research and industry closer together: to get SMEs (in EU) using Drupal together with research groups (in EU) working on Drupal. With a research focus on the semantic web and how to focus on data exchange. 

Agenda

* An overview of the AIPP call, incentives and goals
+ what can it do for the Drupal community (10 min)
* Round table: expressing once interest in the call (10 min)
* Putting it all together, finding a common ground (10 min)
* Working on the draft (20 min)
* rounding up and making the agenda for what should get done (10)

Goals

The intention of the BoF is to create a draft for the call. Who is involved and will do what?
The goal is to make the draft detailed enough so we can finish it by online collaboration.

Resources

The primary resource is the IAPP call . However it is expected to get more information along the way. The new resource may be posted here or in the research and academia group
