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.

UPDATE: Yes, I brought bribes! Themers, designers, coders, users: we want your feedback on our new book, "Front End Drupal." Bring your ideas, enter yourself in a draw for a copy of the book AND get a free flickr pro account. This BoF is on the THIRD FLOOR (stay on the lunch side and go up four levels) at 3PM TODAY (Friday).

Konstantin and Emma are writing a new book, "Front End Drupal" for Addison Wesley. We hope it will provide designers with a great dead-tree-media reference and inspiration on how to theme Drupal 6. We're very excited to be writing it! True to the open source ethos of, "release early, release often and listen to your customers" we'd like to give you a sneak peek at the book we're working on.

Come and give your two cents on our chapters to date, and throw some of your own ideas into the hat on what you think would make a great book!

PS By attending this session you will be eligible to WIN A FREE COPY of Front End Drupal! Yay! Winning! Free stuff!

Overview

Storage and retrieval of RDF data represent significant departures from traditional relational database semantics. While many APIs exist for storing RDF data in a relational database, they tend to be slow, lacking in data integrity enforcement, or difficult to query.

In this session, we'll consider options for a scalable, easily queryable Drupal RDF system.

I'll bring some of my own ideas, but everyone's invited to bring their own, as well as RDF use cases to consider.

Overview
This session will be a brainstorm on VAT, taxes and price modifications in übercart.

Theres about 32123 or so different rules for taxing worldwide and each country have its own obscure rules...
And then theres the growing need for individual pricing of product to a specific client base (read role), and offcourse combinations of this
and .... [insert you own need for modification of a price ;) ]

But no more will we struggle with this, come join the battleplan + a presentation of a possible solution for these problems

Agenda
* price based on a role
* tax modification - different country different rules
* short presentation on a "modify-price-by-tax-or-role-or module"
* anything else?

Goals
To create the end all be all solution for displaying and working with price in übercart.
