From Zero to Distribution using Features, Profiler, and Drush Make

This session will demonstrate, from start-to-finish, the creation of an entire install profile, using Features, Profiler, and Drush Make. This will be a fast-paced live demonstration, interlaced with discussion on building distributions and sites with each component.

In this talk, we will:

• Start from a completely blank slate of a new Drupal install
• Build the site up using standard modules, such as CCK and Views.
• Export it with features.
• Create a Drupal distribution using the Profiler distribution tool.
• Package the distribution with the Drush Make packager.

Along the way, we'll also discuss the more theoretical concepts behind each portion. This will be a PHP-free session, but Drupal-knowledge is required.
