Drupal 7 is coming soon! (Dries Buytaert, Drupal project lead, said at DrupalCon SF that it should arrive between early June and Mid-September.) Haven’t had chances to play around with it yet? Well come along and I'll take you on a ride! I'll focus on the major additions like custom fields being added to core, great improvements in the file system, and some dramatic changes in the user interface. I’ll also cover what you can do to ease pain to D7 on a new D6 site you are developing now.

Agenda

  • Live tour of Drupal 7 site
  • Look at new custom fields functionality (CCK in core)
  • Talk about new goodies in file handling
  • Take a peek at new user interface components
  • Learn about how you can design your new Drupal 6 site in such a way to ease the pain of upgrading to Drupal 7

Goals
Participants will have a better understanding of what is coming with Drupal 7 by seeing a live demonstration.
