Bay Area Drupal Camp

Come help get Drupal 6 ready for release. Open to everyone of every skill level. Karoly Negyesi (chx), Angie Byron (webchick) and a bunch of other Drupal luminaries have declared November 3rd to be “The Day of the Drupal 6 Critical Queue”. People all around the world will be focusing their energy on testing Drupal 6. Come join the fun.

Don’t worry if you don’t know a patch queue from pumpkin patch, there will be people to show you how it is done.

Note: This session will happen twice on Saturday. For the session that happens over lunch, food will be provided.

Session Presenter: Tao Starbow

Tao has been in the Drupal community ever since the Summer of '05 when he set up his first site for the UC Berkeley Katrina Response Team. He runs the Berkeley Drupal Users Group and helped organize BADCamp 07. He is still not sure if he should be writing this in the third person.

You can see my main Bio at http://drupal.org/user/47566. I've contributed several modules. I maintain the Views Bonus Pack, along with the Comment CCK module and the Util module. I have experience in jQuery, CSS, HTML, PHP (mostly), and Drupal, in core, profile, theming (although I have a horrible and skewed sense of design. I can critique it but I can't design my own stuff) and module development.

some possible discussion questions:

• who has access to the knowledge and resources necessary to build an effective drupal site? who participates in the drupal community? why?
• whose needs are met by drupal? are any groups/sectors/organizations better-served than others? why is this the case?
• how have race, class, and/or gender impacted your working relationships?
• what are some examples of drupal work that seeks to actively engage oppression – both within our organizations and partnerships, and in society as a whole?
