| I'm now sitting in the drupal podcast session. There's 7 people on the panel doing the podcast, Jeff Robbins is talking. He's introducing people right now. Just played a lot of music, which he says is the key to a successful podcast - lots of time spent doing nothing.
Update
There's been various questions and comments so far. They've spoken about adding a donate button on the drupal.org website, and just added a job posting section on the website.
People who've taken notes, and want to post them, or links to them should do so on http://drupal.org/events/oscms2007
Every second person speaking up here is from lullabot.
Ok, now they're talking about documentation, reading the code, and freelance coding in their underwear. Jeff says that php is mostly readable. Many people started in the forums and then moved on to bigger things. This will all be in the podcast anyway, so go listen to it. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment   |
| The current talk is on jQuery, again by Steven Wittens. This guy is a good speaker, and even though I still don't think I'll use jQuery yet, he's presented it quite well, and is selling it well.
To me, jQuery looks like a sort of functional interface to the DOM, and that's where he seems to contradict himself. He's brought up mochikit and said that it doesn't make sense because it tries to give javascript a pythonesque feel.
Earlier in the day, the YUI team did a talk on yui. Eric, Jenny and Todd spoke on some of the widgets available. jQuery seems to have a lot more, but I wonder if it supports all grade A browsers.
The Pipes guys spoke after that, and they showed a few examples of pipes that can be built, and the design philosophy behind it. | | comments: 7 comments or Leave a comment |
| | I'm now in a discussion about building community online. We've all formed a circle - sort of - and are discussing what you need to build a community. People are coming up with various thoughts from experience. The standard. People, long threads, guidelines, identity, moderation, etc. Lead by Laura Scott. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| Posting from the opensource CMS summit at the Yahoo! campus in Sunnyvale. I'm currently in the Designer Eye talk by Steven Wittens. It's been quite interesting so far. He's spoken about typography, colours, layout and is still going on. The longest talk so far - 1:45 to 4:00pm.
Photos later. | | comments: Leave a comment |
