Since there is no official session on mobile websites and Drupal, I hope to gather some people interested to talk about this subject and more specific:

  • device detection
  • extending the permission system for mobile traffic
  • extending the theming system for mobile traffic
  • integration with transcoding services
  • iPhone developement using Drupal
  • usability
  • showcases
  • other ideas!

I invite everyone to get this discussion going and maybe we could start during this BoF session to create a kind or "Drupal as mobile CMS" roadmap . Drupal is very suitable for porting on mobile devices, but it still lacks the functionality and modules to do this painless. Since mobile presence is getting more and more important, the succes of Drupal could be linked to its support for mobile or other limited devices!

See the original proposed session (that got a lot of votes!!)

I was really interested in the session and am disappointed to see it's not going to be at the conference. I would love to hear more about the possibility of a BoF session.

Yup

I'd be interested in this too! I'm very surprised there's nothing in the main program about this area...

I would imagine RobLoach will poke his head round the door as well if he spots this :)

Are you guys meeting at the conf this week then? This is probably one of the best topics for Drupal dev :>)

BoF

Hy,

Yesterday there was already a small meetup up in one of the BoF sessions.
I'll try to add a session for today or tomorrow.

Stay all tuned on twitter:
