Top 5 Things at DrupalCon SF 2010

by Stacy

Where do developers go to drool over new features and swap sci-fi stories? DrupalCon of course.

Steve and James attended DrupalCon 2010 in San Francisco and here are the top five things they found most impressive:

1. The Exodus: Leading Drupal out of CVS
Drupal is switching from CVS to Git and this session gave a good overview how Drupal development will change going forward to take advantage of the distributed model for version control.

2. Developing Apps for iPhone/iPad/Android using Drupal as Base System
This session mainly covered how to use Drupal in conjunction with Appcelerator to make iPhone and Android apps. This is a topic that Mightybytes has been interested in for awhile. It was good to see another company pursuing the same thing.

3. Drupal 7 here we come!
A good overview of the new features coming to Drupal 7.

4. Objectifying PHP
Drupal 7 runs on an object-oriented database layer. This presentation argues for moving more of Drupal’s core functionality in that direction.

5. Aegir Hosting System: One Drupal to Rule Them All
Aegir allows numerous Drupal deployments on a server to be controlled through one central Drupal install. See how this was presented.

Weren’t able to get there yourself? Check out their Session Videos by viewing the DrupalCon’s conference/schedule for the session you want to watch. The DrupalCon organizers have also posted a ton of info and videos on archive.org for your perusal.
