Drupal's multisite functionality is a fantastic way to easily host many sites from a single code base. It's not uncommon for our local development environments to host a plethora of projects. Come join other multisite gurus to discuss some advanced topics in Drupal multisite. Whether you're an individual running a couple of projects on your laptop, a Drupal shop hosting client development environments, or are running a network of websites, this is one BoF that you won't want to miss!

Some suggested topics of discussion:
New concepts in multisite configurations- sites/sitename vs. sites/all vs. sites/some
Server cluster and database configurations
DNS configurations, wildcards, and strategic virtual hosts
Aegir hosting solutions

I'm currently hosting about 60 sites on a multisite configuration and learning anything about how to make it easier to manage would be great.

We're 'multisite curious' at our University - currently using custom-built shell tools to manage many separate installations...

Count me it!

Let me know time and place

Hi,

I use Drupal's multisite functionality to keep a single codebase which I keep improving over time. I have an initial site with all the functionality I need, then I clone it when I need a new site. There are still many things I would love to automate: updates, crons, more elegant cloning (not cloning caches, changing timestamps, etc). The idea, medium term, is to automate the process of creating new functional sites with sample content and useful modules enabled.

I would love to discuss with you. I am in town starting tomorrow morning until Saturday p.m. Cheers.

Hi,

you guys up for lunch tomorrow Thursday? Would love to discuss with you. Let me know.

Albert.

I'll write up a time on the board for tomorrow afternoon (close to lunch I'm thinking). See all of you there!

I'm in

I am currently maintaining a 3-site multi-site, which is going to grow again in the near future. So I am very interested in what other are doing.

got 16+ and setting up another cluster that'll have 50ish so I'd love to see what other's are doing in this field. When's the BoF I haven't seen anything posted yet?

Check the board for today it's at 1:45 I think
