Last week, at the amazing Drupal North regional conference, I gave a talk on Backdrop: an alternative fork of Drupal. The slides from the talk are attached below, in PDF format.

I wanted to take a a few minutes to document how the Drupal community is amazing in how it self organizes to get stuff done ...

One of the projects that I have started a long time is Userpoints. Being mostly an API, it has flourished with a mini-ecosystem around it of userpoints modules for various and quite diverse things.

For Drupal 6.x, I was fortunate to have jredding (Jacob Redding) take the lead and add several new features that he needs for various projects.

For the May 2010 meeting of the Kitchener Waterloo Linux Users Group (KWLUG), Khalid gave an overview of the MySQL database. This is part 3 of the LAMP series presented to this group as well as other open source events in Canada.

If you are attending DrupalCon at San Francisco next week, please join Khalid on Tuesday April 20th, from 3:00 to 4:00 PM. The room is 305.

Khalid will showcase a Drupal site with 2.4 million page views per day, 60 million per month, one server.

Yesterday, Khalid presented on The LAMP Stack to the Kitchener Waterloo Linux Users Group (KWLUG).

Drupal was of course featured and advocated, among other LAMP based applications and frameworks.

The slides from the presentation are attached.
