Kristen Pol

I have been a Drupal programmer/developer since early 2004 working with Drupal 4, 5 and 6. I've built very complex sites with Drupal, and am very comfortable with custom module development, search engine optimization (SEO), and theme integration. I have contributed the Drupal SEO Friend module to drupal.org to help with the task of making Drupal sites more SEO friendly; the Featured Content module geared toward letting non-technical users easily add related/featured content blocks; and the Views Examples module for providing real-world examples of views blocks and pages. For more info on my Drupal programming experience, check out my personal website: kristen.org.

Birds of a Feather:

I'd be happy to present a BoF either during the Unconference (Sunday) or regular conference. Here are some ideas. Please chime in if you are interested in any of these, or even if you want someone to present something that is not mentioned below.

  1. Proposed as session but not selected... may have some overlap between other sessions (see related sessions at bottom of each session description page):
    1. Dynamic AHAH Forms with the Drupal 6 Form API and AHAH Helper - http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/dynamic-ahah-forms-drupal-6...
    2. Multilingual Drupal: Creating Drupal 6 Sites in Different Languages - http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/multilingual-drupal-creatin...
    3. Advanced Galleries and Slideshows Using the Dynamic Display Block (DDBlock) Module - http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/advanced-galleries-and-slid...


  2. My Modules - I could also cover any of the modules I've contributed:
    1. SEO Friend - http://drupal.org/project/seo_friend
    2. Featured Content - http://drupal.org/project/featured_content
    3. Views Examples - http://drupal.org/project/views_examples


  3. Additional Topics
    1. Drupal Hooks - there will be a session on the "20 APIs" you should know but this would be more in depth on just core hooks with examples
    2. Workflow - how to set up workflow including having content in moderation while a version is live
    3. Image Galleries - more general talk discussing different modules available with examples & pros/cons
    4. Views Plugins - overview of all the views plugins available and when/why to use them
    5. Organic Groups - step-by-step walkthrough of how to set up (basics)
    6. SEO - there are several talks covering this so not sure another one would be desirable - maybe a more "advanced" session?
