The organization sponsor package is a basic package with few benefits. Almost 70% of Drupal development shops are sole proprietor business. This package is designed for those small consultancies that would like to contribute financially to DrupalCon beyond the ticket price but are not in need of benefits to promote their professional Drupal services at this time.

This package is also designed for organizations that use Drupal heavily but do not need the benefits provided in the benefits packages. Instead, these organizations understand the importance of community based innovation and education and are looking for a way to contribute financially back to the community (i.e. A university that runs dozens of Drupal sites, or a non-profit that relies on Drupal to help with their fund raising and outreach).

Pre-Conference Offerings April 17-18, 2010
The Core Developer Summit is a forum to discuss and plan the process, roles, and vision that shapes the future of Drupal’s technology platform. This is an extremely technical event intended for current core developers.

DrupalCon 2010 is having a code and documentation sprint where you can come and contribute to Drupal, no matter your skill level. If you don't know what to do, we'll show you how to get started in under an hour. Not only will your participation make Drupal better for all of us, but you will mix with some of the smartest and coolest developers on the planet doing their favorite thing.
Highly recommended for all presenters Abstract: You've signed up to be one of those hand waving people at the front of the room and your talk has been accepted. Congratulations! You have lots of things to say. Your module ROCKS! Your code is AWESOME. Your designs are SASSY. But your fear of presenting is also ... well ... a value larger than zero. Come learn how to transform your speaking experience from scary snarling dogs to kittens playing with yarn - before you take the microphone! Agenda From competing in public speaking competitions, to teaching IT at community college, to delivering engaging and entertaining conference presentations, Emma Jane Hogbin (that's me) has a lot of experience in the art of talking. In this session you will learn some quick tips to help you with your own conference presentation. Specific topics will include: * Story time: entertain me; inspire me * Presentation styles: are you a Lessig or a Kawasaki? * Timing and structure: how to fill up 45 minutes (and how not to go over) * Presentation aids: your slides are for the audience, not for you to read * Actionable items: have an impact by sending the audience home with a task In this two and half hour workshop you will get a brief overview of what makes a presentation engaging. Most of the workshop, however, will be spent improving your presentation! You do not need to have finished slides, but a rough outline of the topics you want to present will be very helpful. Goals By the end of this session you will know how to develop and deliver a presentation that engages and inspires your audience.

Students will follow along on their own instance of a site while we demonstrate how to install, configure and deploy an OpenPublish site. Aimed squarely at the Drupal novice, this session will require some basic knowledge of Drupal, PHP and installing on the LAMP stack.

We'll start with an Introduction to OpenPublish and Thomson Reuters' OpenCalais and move on to an installation of OpenPublish. The class will cover the following items as well, and include plenty of time for questions and instructions.

Putting together your own OpenPublish site :
  • Customizing the taxonomy
  • Setting up navigation and menu items
  • Controlling content on the site with editorial options
  • Creating robust content using different tools and features
  • Multimedia options and showcasing
  • Setup new main level sections
