This is a combination presentation and BOF, covering a topic which is becoming increasingly popular in the Drupal community. Basic background and ideas behind "meaning-based" content identification versus "keyword-based" will be covered, along with some of the linguistic approaches as well as RDF and what the Drupal community has been doing with it. We'll cover the usual question - how will this affect my work or my site? - and see what ideas and opinions the group has in what continues to be a controversial topic, but one so important it has been called Web 3.0.

Drupal is used all over the world, and it's great for presenting content in just about any language. Your site might benefit from being globally aware, and your module development definitely will. In this session we'll talk about the languages and character sets in use, common false assumptions that English-speaking programmers make, and what you can do if your client wants you to include content that is "all Greek to you."

Experience is always the key to a good estimate, and for Drupal that's doubly so. This is a session for all experience levels to share how they've done on the projects they've tackled, what was harder or easier than expected, how they might do it differently next time. Also up for discussion is whether Drupal is a good candidate for "Agile" development, a process which helps refine estimating skills and can be helpful in avoiding big schedule changes since it focuses on "bite-sized" development.
