Schedule
Please add a comment to this page if you would like to use one of the available slots. Space usage will be flexible for day-of scheduling as well. You can also subscribe to the schedule via iCal: 
*Note: the Decentralized revision control with James Blackwell will cover the concepts of using revision control systems in general and should be of interest to all developers; Chad will follow with a Drupal-specific use case covering SVN and bzr
Don't forget the social events that aren't in the schedule here.
eCommmerce, GoodStorm, and Drupal
Submitted by ahoppin on Wed, 2006-02-08 16:54.
Thursday at 1:15pm, Mark Burdett from GoodStorm and Kieran Lal from CivicSpace will be running a session on Drupal eCommerce and the work that Goodstorm has done and is doing to extend it, and where the community can jump in and help out. They'll also briefly discuss Goodstorm itself and how Drupal sites can integrate with Goodstorm's on-demand merchandise printing service.
Yoga Update
Submitted by sarahfelicity on Wed, 2006-02-08 09:30.
Looks like our best bet will be to do yoga during the lunch hour on Thursday, in the big room. (No cameras and no spectators! ;))
See you there at noon on Thursday. Don't eat lunch first - have a small snack if you're starving but please don't come on a full stomach!
8:30 am Thursday - Yoga for Geeks
Submitted by sarahfelicity on Tue, 2006-02-07 17:02.
I would like to offer a (very) beginner yoga class on Thursday morning - it looks like room 3 is available.
This class would be accessible to all levels of flexibility and experience - come and learn some things you can do to calm your nerves, stretch out your hunched shoulders, and build a bit more balance into your online existence.

Flickr photos

I was about to set up a Flickr photo group, and noticed that Roland had already started tagging on Flickr.

Do we need a group or will tags do?
Tags are easier
Submitted by Boris Mann on Fri, 2006-02-03 22:45.
Let's stick with "OSCMS" as the tag...
Sure

I like easy.
Came to town early. Spent yesterday (Sunday) in Chinatown. Frioggin' sweet. Off to wander around downtown some more.
Thursday afternoon workshops
Submitted by ae2005@drupal.org on Thu, 2006-02-02 13:15.
I've private messaged Matt Westgate and asked him if he's willing to to hold a workshop Thursday afternoon about modules relevant for ecommerce. I've also written the developers of the Fresnofamous.com site (featured prominently in the Wall Street Journal yesterday) and asked if they'd be willing to hold a workship Thursday afternoon about how they themed their site (which looks fabulous) and what modules they used.
getting a list of developers
Submitted by ae2005@drupal.org on Wed, 2006-02-01 15:48.
A couple of requests:
1) is it possible to provide a spreadsheet list that we can print out of attendees off of drupal.org with people's usernames in one column (sorted alphabetically) and real names in a second column. I know people primarily by their usernames.
2) is it possible to provide a list of developers attending, again by username and real name in alphabetical order? a bunch of us have been struggling to make paypal framework and paypal subscription work. we are talking about putting together a pool to pay a developer to upgrade and maintain those 2 modules, and have it not conflict with the ecommerce. (ecomm cannot replace paypal subscription because it cannot do recurring, automatic debits, or do more than 1 role.)
see drupal.org/node/44295.
3) if there are others who are interested, is there a way to provide a time to meet the developers? not during a session I think because we don't want to miss a session. maybe there is a day when we can all go out to lunch together.

Organize at will
Submitted by Boris Mann on Wed, 2006-02-01 20:25.
As I've said elsewhere, feel free to organize sessions day-of -- we'll have a central area where everyone can post ideas for other slots, and we have the 3rd room available for various times.
We'll have nametag stickers where people can put their names and what every other info they want. Some people have filled out their profiles here with their full name info.
monday evening dinner
Submitted by ae2005@drupal.org on Wed, 2006-02-01 07:09.
anything going on Monday evening for dinner? I guess the people from Europe and the East Coast might be jet-lagged, but perhaps those of us from the West Coast (and anyone else) might find a place to drop in?
I second Robert's comment about schedule conflicts, but I understand if it's too late.

Concentration of Drupal events
Submitted by robertDouglass@... on Wed, 2006-02-01 05:57.
It's too bad that there are some time slots where only Drupal events are happening and some time slots were no Drupal events are happening. If there is still any flexibility, it would be nice to switch a couple events so that these irregularities don't occur.
move sessions around
Submitted by ae2005@drupal.org on Wed, 2006-02-01 15:42.
Dear Organizers,
seeing that it was allowed to sign up for more than 1 session during 1 time slot, I have multiple drupal sessions I'm interested in
Tues. at 8:30am, Tues 3:45pm, Thursday at 8:30am, and Tuesday at 2:30pm. there are no drupal sessions on Thurs at 1:15pm, and 2:30pm. is it possible to move some of those sessions to Thursday afternoon?
thank you
ae2005
Too late
Submitted by Boris Mann on Wed, 2006-02-01 20:23.
The schedule has been frozen for a couple of weeks. Scheduling is an NP complete problem.
I can see that you've got quite a few conflicts, but looking at the rest of the people that have registered, there are actually a fairly limited number of conflicts. You'll have to pick and choose what you want to attend.
Robert: we did the best to balance room sizes, registrations, and good timing for different presenters.
We've left some slots open (mainly in the boardroom) for ad-hoc meetings -- people can add items to the schedule on the day off, and we'll have a central area for updates.
Web Server PHP and drupal tuning
Submitted by Adrian Freed@dr... on Tue, 2006-01-24 18:05.
Is anyone qualified to run a session on this topic? I am but would prefer to focus on my media session.
Day-of organizing?
Submitted by Boris Mann on Tue, 2006-01-24 21:09.
Let's leave that for some of the ad-hoc sessions, unless you have definite interest in running it now. It *could* be a general purpose tuning session -- there might be someone from MySQL able to do this.
New session on coding for database portability?
Submitted by Dan Scott on Mon, 2006-01-16 11:46.
Hi:
At php|works 2005 I presented a session called "LIMIT Yourself to MySQL No More" which was an investigation of the effort required to port a CMS hard-coded for MySQL (identity obfuscated to protect the innocent) to different database servers. It ended up being an interesting discussion about how to code for database portability in general: http://www.coffeecode.net/archives/22-Investigating-portability-of-PHP-applications-developed-with-MySQL.html
If you are interested, I would like to give an updated version of this talk at the OSCMS-Summit, this time focusing on issues encountered in porting a rather more database-neutral CMS (like Drupal or Serendipity) to support DB2 or Apache Derby. My preferred time slot would be on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Title: LAMP's "M" Means "More than MySQL"
Join Dan Scott as he explores the challenges of porting a CMS written primarily for MySQL to support standards-oriented databases like DB2 Universal Database and Apache Derby. In this interactive session, we can cover topics like the pros and cons of database abstraction layers, model-view-controller separation, and database independence, and your experiences with developing applications on different databases.
DanThat's great, Dan

I put a placeholder in the schedule -- just chatting with the Vancouver PHP group about whether we'll just do it at thier space, or...??
Schedule.module
Submitted by mdowsett on Fri, 2006-01-13 09:38.
I'd like to use the module you used to create the schedule....how did you do that? Where can I get the module?
Not a module
Submitted by Boris Mann on Fri, 2006-01-13 10:24.
I used TinyMCE to create a table, and am linking in event nodes. This could be built by abusing the event API and having a nice output, I think. It's essentially a "day" view with nicer overviews.
This theme has nice styling for tables, which is the other reason it looks good.
