Experience:
Beginner "If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you." - Oscar Wilde
Drupal is for business. Drupal is for enterprises. Drupal is for ecommerce. Drupal is for social media. But is Drupal also for fun? We think so.
There are a handful of Drupal modules and themes that do more (or perhaps less) than solve a particular technical problem: They employ humor to make a statement. In this session, we explore how and why humor is used. We ask whether or not it's beneficial to the community as a whole. And we smugly eat cupcakes while looking down on the world from our lofty ivory tower of philosophical meta-humor.
We'll even talk about how specific modules use humor as a device to convey a message.
- Bad Judgement: Gentle criticism by hyperbole
- Eldorado Superfly: It's named to keep you away
- Khaaaaaaan: Finite State Machines are as sexy as James T. Kirk
- And more...
For Drupal to succeed as a community, it is important to learn to communicate effectively.

Wild horses won't keep me away from this session.
Come to think of it, I should write wild_horses.module...
Session overlap - Drupal 4 Evil
Is there session overlap?
Maybe you and Fox could work together?

- That session has a slightly more provocative description.
