source code management, organize source code, put development modules in a separate directory, check in clean code for 3rd party modules, to track difs on modded code, test upgrades against a production copy, write update functions that automates what you do in the D interface, updates then become version controled, manage your branches and merge changes, not clear on what this is
automation and regression testing, use build tools, makefile targets, sql, backup, restore, clearcache, tags, doc, test, drush, command line drupal!, alias for other projects, create different aliases

theme anatomy, .info, add stylesheets, add regions, provide default settings, include js, template override, for people more comfortabele w/ markup than code, template file, find original template & copy to your theme, use a variant name, preprocess functions are better, separate logic from appearance, less code, less problems, better error handling, theme functions, find orginal function, copy to your theme, rename for your theme, lots of duplicate code, no preprocess for theme hooks, directly call original theme function in you theme override, you can send modified variables to the orig theme function, function override, good for wjere you need more specialized logic, better performance, up to 5x better then tpl.php, theme at module level, needed for theming new functionality
subtheming, can base it on zen, create a 'canary' starter theme that get's us to a starting point, then create a client theme based on the canary theme that only has code specific to that site, user zen for subtheming, use zen's body classes, we add more custom classes
theme forms, remember to cleare the theme registry cache, all forms start by going thru the default form theme functions, change at the theme registry level, modify indiv form elements, great walkthru on trellon, declare a new theme-specific rendering function, can also use a custom tpl, http://trellon.com/content/blog/theming-user-register-form-d6, work around entire form

How to Build websites faster
blog is a feature, as is:, press room, create content type, create various fields, imagecache settings, related blocks and views, tax vocabulary, tag cloud, etc, problems, slow process, not reusable, dsconnected pieces, context module, defines groups of 'things' as a context, node types, cck fields, menus, blocks, combine those things into a 'feature', and it becomes code, anatomy of a feature, [table outlineing the structure], items are either scripted or exportable, walk thru for a blog feature, create the node type w/ cck, create the view, spaces are integrated into views, add to a context, create a namespace and attribute, automatically builds a menu, BUILD WITH CODE, you can write functions to script this manually, module should be able to write code in future, enables the ability to just install new features in new sites, why build as code, reusible, distributable, version control, scripting, pain to debug, pain to maintain, not easily extensible, Exportables, already in views via chaos tools, abtract data storeage so modules can be indifferent towhere item is: code, db,, provides definititions, not scripts, easy to maintain, overridable and extensible, who has, views, panels, context_ui, imagecache, recipe for exportables, string identifiers, api finctions for collecting all items, node_get_types(), imagecache_presets(), structured array of object to represent your item, featuremaer.module?, need mass adoption of exportibles, image gallery, publication library

baltimore, less formal, beginning and intermediate, some remote sessions, eye tracking, one way mirror, mostly intermediate users, some beginners
patches for testing, vertical tabks, text format drop downs, remove post settings from admin, password checker
findings, some things are working :), installation, rename input formats to 'text formats', confirmed issues from other sessions, How do I create content, video of a user who could NOT find 'create content'
Issues, people are confused once they install, node orphaanage, nodes are orphaned by default, menus and taxonomy are optional and misunderstood, even if tey find it on admin it 'isn't part of the site', confused that search actually appears in theme when you enable it, wanted to enable a block, menus, navigation menu is confusing, unclear relationship wit menus and blocks, parent item selection is confusing, text formats, is a mess, multiple configure links!, taxonomy, too absstract, complicated word
solutions, bouncing druplicon

discussing Drush 2.x development
drush commands, drush status, dl, download core and modules, goes and gets the latest stable version, can dl by wget or check out with cvs, cron, status, search, cache clear, install, enable, handle's dependencies, disable, smartly disable dependencies as well, status modules, refresh, what modules need upgrading, update, update modules, can set it up to automatically commit new updates to svn, info, sync, for moving to a new server, does it skip svn directories?, they think so :), eval, arbetrary php code, be careful!, sql, url, version server, version client, dump, can exclude specific tables, query, load, cli, opens up a mysql shell, script, run php scripts, help, each command has it's own help
install w/ a symlink to get global access to drush
drush tries to figure out the correct root path and uri from it's location
running drush from a site directory enables lots of relavent commands
can set up a drushrc.php file to setup drush settings
an module can implement drush commands, devel, coder, aegir

openness and collaboration are good principles for biz
free redistribution, of ideas, ideas are not unique, or of any value w/o execution, everybody should share ideas
source code, core values over mission statements
derived works, ideas need to grow, and change over time, and die
integrity of the author's source code, credit, focus on giving credit over taking
no discrimination against people or groups, lull is diverse in location, and personalty, all types need a voice in the org, and experience
no discrimination against fields of endevor, open source marketing, profit, yes, let's
distribution of liscence, good ideas should be applied to the whole org
liscense must not restrict other software
liscense must
open books, look up

cost-savings of contributing back, standing on the shoulders of giants, community makes your module better
Project Management For Fun and Profit
http://dc2009.drupalcon.org/session/project-management-fun-and-profit
agile, def, pro, user-centric social networking sites, web apps, considerations, need to be able to say 'no', need resources to client resources and materials - time, attention, materials, need very progressive clients
waterfall, def, pros, brochure ware, interactivity
estimations, http://civicactions.com/estimating-worksheet, don't estimate 'to' a budget
scheduling, people take different amounts of time to do same work, look at whole picture, team and individual schedules, client availability, holidays
design, most clients (and people) don't care about code., is it pretty
toolbox, gantt, merlin, ms project, wireframes, omnigraffe, visio, task tracking, basecamp, unfuddle, storm, harvest, liquid planner, bug tracing, mantis, trac, JIRA, case tracker module, code review, crucible, skype / IM, the phone!
clients, great projects do NOT happen in spite of bad clients, find, seek, cultivate great clients, get their business and needs, and convince good clients of that, know who to say 'no' to, good clients know they are investing, only build a site that has a good reason to exist, is there enough in the budget, reasonable timeline, is there a good reason for the deadline?, key metrics of success, when are we done, who decides?, client management, keep you eye on the ball, always be aware of the status, have a central contact, that person needs to be authoritive, you are now the general of the web aspect of their brand. act like it, make the client look like a rockstar in their org, and they will LOVE you and come back, be on time, something will go wrong. plan for it, manage expectations wit an iron grip, now to say no, voice concerns early, protect your team, offer alternative options, be helful, bless and release, it's ok to end bad relationships
warning signs, i don't care, just get it done, i don't need project management, i need it this week, I could get a freelancer for cheap, my neighbor says...
drupal specifics, know your modules,, even non devs, balance site config tasks between devs and non-devs, work closely with IA/UE designers to be clear on what's possible / easy / hard / impossible, know how to suggest ways to add value, knowing modules that will benefit their project, give back to the community
