Aegir at DrupalCon Paris: Friday, September 4

Presentation on the Aegir hosting system that makes managing thousands of Drupal sites easy

There have already been two great sessions about Aegir at DrupalCon Paris (Roel's Aegir: Build Once, Deploy Often session session showing examples of Aegir in action and Jeff's talk about Open Atrium, Aegir, and Features), as well as many productive conversations. I'm excited to add to this with my presentation tomorrow - Automate Your Site Troubles Away with the Aegir Hosting System - happening at 9:00 am in the Gulbenkian room.

The Aegir hosting system helps developers and site administrators save time by automating many of the common tasks associated with deploying and managing Drupal websites. In my session tomorrow, I'll talk about Aegir and show off a little of what it can do, including how it can work in the cloud and across many servers and how we're using in the specific use case of our open source intranet package Open Atrium. I'll also talk about what is planned for Aegir in the future. This is important, as development on Aegir is moving fast with two new releases out since March, the latest being released just last week, so there is a lot to learn and discuss.

For those new to Aegir, I recommend checking out the Aegir user group as well as some of the blog posts we've written on www.developmentseed.org. The folks at DrupalCon Paris will be recording the session, so if you can't attend tomorrow you can watch the video once it's posted to the DrupalCon Paris website. We'll also post a link here once it's ready.
