The venue is Rummet. It is an open office space, where you can rent a space for working. Morten gives an introduction and it seems that it will be a more or less theming heaven :-)
In the room are around 70-80 people. 15{0f2b36d8f80fa52f37b916148a6e37fe671d96583f68d5887344addd2eee52a6} of them are non danes, so they decided to speak english.
What I have seen?

Great work
Twitter DIY – Services with REST & OAuth
Hugo Wetterberg showed an amazing system. A twitter client, made with Adobe Flex communicates via the Services module (REST server) and the OAuth authentication module with a drupal website.
REST Services are better than XMLPRC communication. They are working better with caching and proxies because of the use of different Request methods.
The client asked the Drupal website, wether he is allowed to acces (key, secret). The user must be logged in to set the rights for the client in a form. The client creates no session at the drupal website. It connects via a token.
All the sourcecode you can find at http://github.com/hugowetterberg
When I looked at his site I found a nice module – nodeformcols – cool idea!
Ubercart – Hagen Graf (me :-) )
I showed the people how to setup physical products, file downloads and memberships with the acquia distribution and the ubercart module.

960 Grid System – Todd Nienkerk
CSS Frameworks consists usually of these items
- a browser reset method
- typography
- navigation
- print style
- layout
- support for noncompliant browsers
they have usually 12-16 columns, regions, gutters (margins – space between the regions) and a wrapping div.
960.gs has 940 pixel usable space with 12 (60px) or 16 (40px) columns
There is a drupal theme with dynamic grid widths http://drupal.org/project/ninesixty.
The important words in this theme are
- for the left side: alpha – prefix – push
- for the right side: omega – suffix – pull
push and pull classes are for the problem "is there content in the left column?"?
A few demos you can view at http://ninesixty.fkdemos.com/
Copenhagen libraries – Mikel
They are using panels3 with the ctools module and a self written relationships plugin. Every library is a panel page. Panels have now the idea of contexts. They have written the relationsship plugin to grab the right parameter from the URL and give it to the taskhandler. More code on http://github.com/kdb/ding/tree/master
