Creating applications and dashboards using Drupal
San Francisco City and County have a growing set of internal solutions that present Drupal dashboards. This session will show how we deploy dashboards for business users, for deployment in both intranet and web facing systems. The types of dashboards we will be looking at include:
- IT procurement dashboard
- Tax Credit Request Management dashboard
- Entertainment Permits dashboard
- Discrimation Reporting dashbord
- etc
This session will focus on the management of dashboards. Specifically how we deploy multiple dashboards for users with varying permissions. The data capture and workflow are not part of this demonstration. The use case is very much about using Drupal inside the organisation for delivering subsites for specific business needs.

DC.Gov – Catching Up/Moving Ahead
Get the latest scoop on DC.Gov, the District’s official web portal.
In 2009, the Office of the Chief Technology Officer embarked on an ambitious project to modernize DC.Gov. Its goals included moving off an antiquated CMS, migrating over 100 sites to a new information architecture that is more citizen centric, implementing a new design, bridging the digital divide through the deployment of a mobile platform, facilitating the use of Web 2.0 features, and making the creation and publication of content easier and more efficient by District agencies. In 2011, we adopted Drupal 7, moving away from a commercial CMS that was the original solution.

Implementing Drupal in a medium sized cities
The City of Binghampton in upstate New York have adopted Drupal and will be putting the site live in the run up to the conference. The web manager of the city will share the site and learnings from the project which uses the OpenPublic distribution and uses taxonomy to drive dynamic content into a site using the Omega theme.
We will show the process of migrating the content from static HTML to a dynamic site using taxonomy, updating people on using the latest versions of OpenPublic. In this particular demonstration we will be covering how we deployed the whole site without wrtiting a single line of code.
This is an overview session of City Government using the Open Public distribution. Brett Husbands of Firmstep proposed the session, and the speaker will be the web manager from Binghampton, Will Meredith.

Success is in the Details
What happens when your agency, department or group initiates a web redesign and development project that touches multiple web properties, multiple program offices, and, well, multiple everything? Understanding how the process unfolds at a high level is critical, but success really depends on how well your team navigates the details.
This session is focused on delivering useful pieces of knowledge to help any federal employee who finds themselves on a web design and development project by addressing three critical fronts: process, technology and design. We’ll use a recently launched suite of Drupal powered federal websites to answer the questions we are asked and, more importantly, questions we wish we were asked.
