Sessions you'd like to see
I know people always have trouble thinking up something awesome to present about. At least I do (which is why I stick to the one I know!).
Feel free to add to this list of topics you’d like someone to present at DrupalCamp!
Features/Spaces/Contexts – what are those DevSeed guys up to?
OpenAtrium – more from DevSeed, has anyone been using this in the alpha?
Files API in Drupal7 – a lot of work went into this revamp, how does it affect developers?
Marketing Topics
Social Commerce – people socializing over a product before they buy it

Yes to OpenAtrium
If anyone can present about OpenAtrium I’d be all over it.
Also, I am interested in Aegir.
Beginner 101 sessions
Personally, I’d love to see more beginner tracks since this camp is free we will have a large percentage of total newbies. A track for introducing Drupal is key to growing the community. The following will sound like an organizer’s recommendations, well, because they are.
Completely Agree (from a newbie's perspective)
I’ve gone through some tutorials and such, but would definately benefit from a beginner track.
Handling Development between multiple developers
Working on theme enhancements, business logic & processes between multiple developers on a Drupal project is pretty straightforward (things that don’t touch the database).
However, when developer’s start working on things that modify the database, then things get a little squirrelly.
How do you manage and reconcile database diff’s between multiple developers on a Drupal Project? Best practices?
the Biz side of Drupal
I´m really curious to hear about biz intricacies & how others are leveraging Drupal to make their dreams come true. I guess it could be considered a more generic ¨starting a webdev shop 101¨ but it would be cool to hear how those intersect with Drupal.
Things like:
-Software/tools used in keeping track of your finances
-How to appropriately deal with flaky clients
-Cool ways to market yourself in an ever-flooding market
-What to look for, office space & employees, when expanding your Drupal shop
-Partnering with other Drupal shops to attack larger projects
-The importance of giving back by becoming a Drupal Association member or member organization
-So you´re a webdev? Why is it important to add Drupal to your bag of tricks
I never see any of these topics discussed & even when I review DrupalCons after they´re over, it seems that the biz topics never get covered. IMHO, touching on these types of topics might bring some ¨aha¨ moments to the Drupal newbies on the fence.
There's no one way
So rather than a singleton presentation, a panel seems to be the way to go. I participated in one at DrupalCon Boston, and it was interesting — I learned a lot. There also was a small panel in DrupalCon Szeged — saw the video, and that was interesting.
Enhanced Forum Developement
I’d really like to see something on implementing an enhanced, robust, fully moderated Forum system (not a PHPBB integration) that either builds on the core forum functionality or utilizes other contributed modules.
Any takers?
My 2 intro session proposals
I have proposed 2 intro classes.
One on CCK http://2009.drupalcampla.com/sessions/intro-drupal
and one on Intro to Drupal http://2009.drupalcampla.com/sessions/intro-drupal
I’m very open to a third if some one has a specific request.
New Session on SEO
Hey everyone. I am presenting a session on how to improve the SEO on your Drupal sites using Microsoft’s SEO Toolkit. It’s a quick hitting, fast moving, 20 minute session. Stop by and check it out. You’ll be happy you did!!! :)
love to learn about PressFlow and Mercury
I’ve just learned of the existence of PressFlow and Mercury…
