Drupal GOTCHA'S - Hardening and Optimizing your Drupal site. With a strong community and robust core, Drupal, an open source content management platform, is a solid foundation on which to build your website, whether it be community or corporate. The community has contributed almost 3500 (3472), this can be a bit overwhelming for someone trying to put up a Drupal site that is fast and secure. This talk will cover some of the easiest, and most important things you can do to improve the performance and security of your site.

lost of technical problems with the dev environment the lullabots setup. I guess the mac mini just couldn't handle 60 hackers banging on it all it once. Fortunately ssh worked fine so was able to get through the day.

Networking dinner where we discussed life, the universe and everything, including the molasses wifi at the hotel.

A short trip to Powells book store. Taking up a whole city block it has lots of books, of course the technical section was closed so I'll have to head back this week.

Overall learning lots of new stuff and meeting great people.
