Overview

Drupal is awesome. But that is old news. In this presentation, I will be going over some of the more awesome things people have done with Drupal - you know, those crazy ideas that use Drupal in ways it might not have been really meant to be used in - with varying degrees of success.

Agenda

* The Bot module - a Drupal-based IRC bot.
* The Guitar module - generate guitar chord diagrams using CCK.
* The RickRoll module - I'm still not quite sure what the purpose is.
* Drupal as a gaming framework - tic-tac-toe anyone?
* The Chessboard module - bring chess to your site by simply adding a new input format.
* Your awesome module here - if you maintain an awesome module, share it! :)

Goals

This session will leave you with a strong impression of how powerful and flexible Drupal is as a framework. From IRC bots to tic-tac-toe, Drupal can do anything, and Drupal will clearly take over the world.

Resources

A fresh mind and an enthusiasm for awesomeness.

And where is Florian's name?

Dude, you should totally grab Florian for a co-presenter on this. flobuit wrote the guitar.module and the tic-tac-toe gaming api thingy.

You guys would have so much fun as a two-man team!
