Jay Batson

Session: Drupal Directions [Drupal Track, Array Level]

Drupal rocks. But why? In this session, Jay looks at Drupal from the project perspective, and asks (and tries to answer) questions like: - What is it about Drupal that has made it the choice of hundreds of thousands of websites? - The use of Drupal doubles annually - and that now represents a BIG number. But can Drupal sustain that growth rate? - Can its use grow yet another 10x? Or more? What are the things that stand in the way? - And finally, where are the big opportunities - both technically, and economically?
