Last winter, when the recession hit my corner of the web world, I went and got myself one of those full-time jobs. Suddenly instead of designing, building and theming each site from beginning to end as a separate project, I found myself in a mosh-pit of 40 developers, developing dozens of sites at the same time. We've been moving a whole "enterprise level" corporation over to Drupal, rapidly theming without any visual designs. Hear about what I've learned, and the strategy I created for best reusing code and coordinating the efforts of the team.

I don't know when the video will go up, no. I can only assume people are working hard on all the videos, and they'll be posted as soon as that work is done. I too look forward to seeing everything from DrupalCon CPH!

Once the video is posted on archive.org, I will put it here in place of the photo above.

Hey look, there it is! Oh, the audio quality is not very good. That's sad. Hopefully it's good enough for you to hear. Thanks for listening...

I listen again to your talk (I may be able boost the sound a little more) to post it if you like as some part are very hard to understand.

Did you post anywhere the CSS framework you have build ? Or Skinr set you used.

I know you are busy on woking on more modern and exciting things like HTML5 but your files would be very valuable.

Thanks

Hi Jen,

just wanted to say thanks for an incredibly useful presentation. I am fairly new to web design and drupal and getting insight into a decent process/workflow is fantastic for me.

Also, I've been investigating skinr and this presentation and Jacine's at DC San Fran have persuaded me.

So thanks again,

Nic
