Jam-packed morning sessions at at Drupal Camp Manila

Blogging live at Drupal Camp Manila, glad to see familiar faces at G2iX Techbar in Orient Square, Ortigas Center.

This morning, we had an install fest where Drupal n00bs got a walk-through of installing Drupal on your localhost XAMPP, creating a database in MySQL phpMyAdmin, creating content types. (Personally, I’ve become a fan of installing via command line)

Earlier, Rick Bahague of Computer Professionals Union showed their workflow when working with nonprofit websites for NGOs. They’re always looking for volunteers and will have an intensive Drupal workshop on December 15-16, 2009.

Just wrapped up, Loloy D showed how he’s integrated photos hosted on his Picasa Web account to his Drupal site. He’s distributing the code under GNU license.

Breaking for lunch! Right after, we’ll listen to Marky Caballero “Do more with less (effort): Tools that make Drupal deployment extra-efficient”.

G2iX Tech Bar Venue
G2iX Tech Bar is really a fab tech venue. They’re very accommodating, you can have a classroom setup (where you can set up laptops) which is very fitting for something like the Drupal Installfest and it’s also comfy for informal Barcamp.

Good job with today, Rachel Jaro! Looking forward to see what Drupalchix has in store
