site building
The much anticipated CRM API
This session will introduce the CRM API that Trellon is working on. It is basically a single layer for creating and accessing data on various CRM backends using a unified interface, in such a way that the unique features of the different CRMs are still available. I'll be covering: what it does, what problems it's supposed to solve, and where it's at right now. Most importantly, we'll be discussing what the API should do -- what kinds of situations would you use it in?, etc.
Update: There's a CRM API project page on drupal.org: http://drupal.org/project/crmapi

Using the CCK, Views and Panels as site construction toolkit
This session covers the trio of CCK, Views and Panels as a toolkit for site builders, virtually eliminating the need for custom modules for content type and display.
Note: this is a combo session on the same subject held in Toronto DUG in March and April. The presentation part, and the hands on part.
There may be interest in it from those who did not attend.
