Other Sessions I'm Looking Forward To

I couldn't help take some time to look over the sessions and pick my favorites. We are still a month away but there is a lot to look forward to. Here are some in particular:

CSS3: The Future is Now
http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/css3-future-now

Design for Drupal: A Template Approach

The Heart of Open Atrium: Context, PURL and Spaces
http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/heart-open-atrium-context-p...
I've used context and open atrium a lot, but it will be nice to see what the creators think is most interesting to spend an hour on.

2.4 million page views per day, 60 M per month, one server!
http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/24-million-page-views-day-6...
I've learned so much from the folks at 2bits already, looking forward to learning some more.

CCK to Fields: Getting There From Here
http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/cck-fields-getting-there-here
Nodes to fields is a lot to get your head wrapped around. Karen Stevenson, the biggest CCK contributor, is probably the best person to help.

Performance testing The Economist Online using The Grinder

The exodus: leading Drupal out of CVS
http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/exodus-leading-drupal-out-cvs
Looking forward to leaving CVS. Would git help me maintain my modules more often? It just might.

Node Access in Drupal 7
http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/node-access-drupal-7
I use Domain Access a lot, so this should be pretty interesting.

Providing a Scalable Infrastructure for Whitehouse.gov
http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/providing-scalable-infrastr...
Everyone I know outside of Drupal keeps mentioning the Whitehouse site. Now I will be able to tell them how it is scaled.

MongoDB - Humongous Drupal
http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/mongodb-humongous-drupal

"Don't Touch that Server": A toolkit for zero-touch production environments

The Care and Feeding of Project Managers
http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/care-and-feeding-project-ma...
This is my favorite title for a presentation. Project Mananagers need to be cared for AND fed.
