Drupal's Payment API -- http://drupal.org/project/pay -- is a simple, flexible and pluggable payment transaction handler for Drupal. Advantage Labs has recently extended the functionality of the Payment API and built a crowdsource pledge-funding feature using contributed Drupal modules.
Very soon, Drupal will bid a fond (ha!) farewell to CVS, and git will step up to the collective plate. In this session, I'll run through what differences you can expect to see on launch day, what changes are further down the road, and talk a bit about how I think git might change Drupal's community workflows right away.
This is not an intro to Git. We hope to schedule a basic Git training early in 2011.
The book module is often seen as the documentation in/for Drupal. But it falls short in a couple of areas:
There is only 1 hierarchy that never really fits all needs
There are no standards in structuring the information inside a post, so 1 post might actually explain more than 1 topic
You can only export individual pages or top level chapters with their children, you can't easily export cherry-picked topics (across chapters) into 1 document
Version management is handled through the forking of the whole documentation

Our scheduled session of Site Migration Methods has been postponed.
Instead, Doug Vann will be leading a roundtable discussion about modules he likes and recommends. If you're interested stop by to listen or recommend modules of your own.
Views is an incredibly powerful module if you know how to use it. If you know how to extend it, well, you're golden. But how do all of Views' moving parts fit together?
This session will attempt to explain the over-arching design of the Views 2 module, and how one goes about writing plugins, handlers, and supporting new tables. The goal will be to give attendees a sense of how Views is put together, and therefore how to extend it gracefully. There will be much reading of code.
Doug Vann takes us through some not so familiar territory as he adds content in Drupal 7 and creates nested menus, all the while pointing out how Drupal 7 changes the terminology and methodology being used.
