Honestly, it feels crazy early for me to be submitting session proposals to a conference four months out. I was motivated by the reminder that the deadline is nearing to get our Ubercart session proposals up on the site for folks to scope out and vote into being. If you haven't posted your proposals yet (not counting BoF sessions), get on it!
We were shortsighted. I wish we'd been thinking more along this line from the beginning. Who knows what sort of e-commerce situations Ubercart would be able to handle now if we had geared it toward customizable products from the get go? Drupal really is the perfect CMS to handle this sort of e-commerce need...
Through some personal development efforts and work on Ubercart, I've been confronted lately with how to best use classes in my Drupal modules. For this post, I'm really just curious how others are defining and using classes in their modules and if the "lean" approach I've outlined below is reasonable. (i.e. Is what I'm doing to ensure Drupal loads less code even worthwhile?)
We’re conducting a 13-question survey to better understand what users of Drupal find lacking in some specific areas, including themes, e-commerce, and support. The responses will primarily be used for a series of free reports, and also to help us create products/services that better serve your needs.
Personal/contact information is optional. We’ll also be sharing the (anonymized) results so they can benefit everyone.
I got a Google Alert and an e-mail from Wim Mostrey upon returning from lunch today both linking to this article posted on the IT news site InternetNews.
