Schedule

Every day we have a series of choices to make. Get up early to work-out or hit snooze and sleep a bit longer? Make a nutritious meal at home or order something maybe just a bit less healthy to go? Finally, stop rocking sweatpants at work or switch to wearing PJs instead? All the choices we make - even the little ones - shape our identities and empower us in our own lives.

Since 2013, the Drupal Community Working Group (CWG) has been responsible for helping to foster a welcoming community for the project and upholding its code of conduct. In this session, CWG founding member and former chair George DeMet will discuss some of the more challenging issues and problems the group has faced over the last eight years, such as:

You only have 5 seconds to leave a good impression through your website, make it count! Your website is the first touchpoint between your company and your customer, it should have a maximum impact. We’ll go over the techniques in detail I applied to improve UX on sites for our customers but also on the Editorial experience built with the Drupal module “layout builder”.

Hands-on demonstration how to move your Drupal to an Open Digital Experience platform, using n8n. N8n is an open source Integration Hub that allows you to create and maintain secure data integrations and workflow automation via an intuitive UI.

There are many of us that have "disabilities" - others call them ADD, ADHD, OCD, color blindness, even total blindness.... The are not disabilities, they are superpowers! They give strengths to see things others can't. Perhaps ADD makes you good at brainstorming? Maybe OCD helps you find tiny bugs no one else could find?

This session will explore three distinct areas that you may touch when planning and launching a Drupal Commerce Business-to-Business store: - B2B stores living alongside a current B2C E-commerce website. - Content, marketing and strategy for B2B stores. - Unique technical challenges compared to a regular B2C website.

In this case study, we demonstrate how we helped our client to optimize the XML sitemap of a large website and its implications on metrics. You’ll learn how to create optimized sitemap indexes that allow you to break-up a sitemap based upon individual requirements - such that search engines can crawl your content efficiently and thus more frequently.

Recently we rewrote the base theme for the LocalGov Drupal distribution.

LocalGov Drupal is a distribution used by 12 councils in the United Kingdom, with (currently) 10 more seriously considering us. Our team has spoken to all the councils above (and a few more besides) about the factors involved in choosing Drupal, and specifically our distribution.

We've just survived of being fully online and we're just beginning to reflect on all the ways that online participation, collaboration, and coordination have changed. For many of us, these changes and learnings have been in the public - we've collaborated, built, shared, and failed in the open with our community, people, and products.

As consultants, we are often asked to recommend the best approach for building a Drupal site. The answer, as with many questions is, it depends. For some clients, the best choice is to build a traditional, coupled Drupal website. For other clients, it makes sense to build a completely decoupled solution using Drupal as the backend. And for others, the best solution is somewhere in between.

Professional services is a vast industry with the evergrowing rapid competition to perform better and sell better. We will look into strategies that have helped organisations to bring in the brand value, enhance delivery, manage resources, enhance marketing and sales. Along with this, we will also look into reasons and decisions that lead to the failure of a services.
