semantic web compliant format: RDF

Then goes a step farther. For a subset, takes you into the linked data world. Another emerging standard, a Tim Berners-Lee initiative

for instance dbpedia

now OpenCalais

Calais is a web service. Hard to demo.

DrupalCon DC 2009 State of Drupal

spoiler: DRÜPAL ROCKS!!

History of Drupal, his student dorm photo with the giant red sombrero in 1999.

Learning more about PHP and MySQL, the new kids on the block at this time.

DrupalCon Antwerp, more than twice the expected people.

Slide with Robert douglass and his French horn. Wrote the very first Drupal book.

Demoed:
Drag and droppable widgets AND tabs for the front page dashboard for users logged into Drupal.org.

For a 45 minute presentation, can break your presentation into 15 minute chunks:

(Note: This is not an official Science Collaboration Framework document, this is my own draft document for explaining the project, especially to people familiar with Drupal.)

To add a date and time to the quote of messages you are replying to:

1. Go to Preferences (on a Mac, at least, and this will be under the main Thunderbird menu)
2. Click on the Advanced icon
3. Stay on the General tab and click the Config Editor... button.
4. Search for reply_header_type
5. Double-click the value field of mailnews.reply_header_type, and
6. Change this from 1 (in my case) to 2.

You're done!
