What I have done in the past week:
*. The pivots block was enabled on d.o only for the site maintainers and CVS account users. You can also logon d.o with the username "pivots_test" and password "drupal.org" to take a look. For example, http://drupal.org/project/ecommerce. Some feedback can be found at http://drupal.org/node/265450. The plan is to have those advanced d.o users review the code, and then we can migrate the pivots code from scratchvm to the production d.o. servers, and then we can make it available to all d.o users. We have to follow this process due to the d.o policy.
I'm still in China this week, and I'm still not in the very right mood of working. But I'll call it a stop in the coming week.
What I have done this week:
*. Picked up the pivots work.
*. Read a few papers.
What I'll do next week:
*. Finish the "survey" code, and get it work on d.o.
*. Read a few more papers.
*. Switch to the right status of working.
Drupal is AWESOME. That was my opening comment addressing to the "D.O. Redesign Panel" audience. I gave a 10-min presentation during the session and introduced the "Conversation Pivots" to the community. Hopefully, it will go live on d.o. soon.
To prepare the presentation, I didn't go to bed until 3:30am, and I'm tired now. So I'm not going to write a lot in the blog. Paul really helped a lot during the session. Learned a lot from my advisor. We had dinner together Wednesday evening.
The second day of the conference was interesting too. I went to 2 site building sessions and 2 programing sessions. The "Best practices in development environment..." session and the "Performance tuning" session seemed to be particularly useful. I met with Angela Byron, Nedjo Rogers, Derek Wright, and Tiffany Farriss, and we had dinner together. They are going to lead the d.o. redesign panel on Thursday.
The first day of Drupalcon was exciting! There were so many people from all over the world and the sessions were well arranged. I learned quite a lot from it. And I met Kieran finally (he was quite busy coordinate the sessions, and we didn't talk too much). And my new friend Ben made a 10-min presentation on his RelatedContent module in the Knight Foundation session, in which he mentioned our pivots module.
The three things that impressed me most in Day 1 were:
