In addition to being far more secure than closed-source alternatives, software like Drupal simplifies the process of managing permissions and creating content that can be read by anyone, anywhere, on any device.Īdditionally, the flexibility of open-source solutions makes it easier to integrate digital platforms with a variety of systems so that simple transactions can be automated. In our work with governments and other big organizations with strict governance rules, we’ve found that open source software is an ideal choice. Being able to take the time to have in-depth conversations with other people and organizations who are using Drupal in new and challenging ways is incredibly valuable to us, and is a great way of understanding the problems and challenges that others in our industry are facing on a day-to-day basis. One of our teammates, David Hernandez, had an especially great session about Docksal and VMs, and had a lot of great conversations later about the subject matter.įor us, the chance to meet up with our friends and colleagues is the most important part of attending camps. We got to be part of a lot of great conversations about Drupal 8, and appreciated the chance to reconnect with colleagues who are interested in Drupal and its capabilities. One of the things we noticed at GovCon was the amazing enthusiasm about the Drupal project, and especially Drupal 8. We’d also like to congratulate the GovCon organizers on this year’s amazing event, which had more attendees and excitement than ever before. The event consisted of three days of great conversations, sessions, and sprints in the FFW Sponsored Sprint Lounge. During his career he has worked several dozen websites in dozens of industries and draws on this experience to help him manage and guide projects both large and small.īut seriously- Mike is an amateur harmonica player, the founder of Beer Club, a beer bottle collector and opponent of Floor Checks.Last week, FFW was proud to attend and sponsor Drupal GovCon, a Drupal Camp dedicated to serving Drupal users in the government sector and hosted in the greater Washington, DC area. Mike has spent his career working on 'front-end' and 'back-end' projects and bridges the gaps between marketing/branding objectives and technical ones.

He has collaborated on award winning websites that have received top honors in regional, national and international competitions such as the Baltimore Addys, the Summit Awards, Worldwide Web Health Awards, Davey Awards, and the Web Marketing Association.

Join us for a session exploring disembodied Drupal, also known as bodiless Drupal- an application that uses Drupal’s powerful framework to do things it does well while storing the actual domain data in a remote repository.

This session will expand on the Bodiless approach, providing a deep dive into case studies through operational code samples. The “Ain’t No Body” session at Baltimore DrupalCon provided a general overview for Bodiless Drupal. Bodiless Drupal avoids or defers domain content migration, so agencies can realize maximum value from their investments and minimize disruption. Existing systems and workflows can remain in place while the data is leveraged by Drupal. What if a website built using a CMS could provide standard CMS features without the expense and disruption that result from migrating large volumes of distributed domain content? What if the question wasn’t “what if” but “how”?īodiless Drupal, in its simplest terms, means using Drupal to provide access to data that does not live in Drupal's database.
