## Profiler Builder * What is Profiler Builder?     * Profiler Builder was created cause I’m lazy and wanted to just build a site, then figure out the profile, not build both at the same time. My work on profiler builder started to lead me toward the notion that install profiles and distributions can be more of a pain then they are worth, hence recipes. * Is there anything that Profiler Builder doesn’t catch? * How are you using Profiler Builder?   ## Drush Recipes * What is the Drush Recipes plugin     * Drush Recipes is a series of drush calls chained together in a lightweight command-file, similar to chef and it’s recipes / roles structure. * Why do this instead of just using standard drush calls?     * You might need to mess around w/ it to get a sense of some of the things you can do with it since it’s a lot more then just chain automation as it supports branching path logic, automatic recipe authoring, drush commandline recording to author recipes, the ability to take two sites and engineer the difference between them (as drush calls), remote loading of recipes, etc. * I use TextExpander to do this, so I just type a shortcut, and my commands are filled in. How is using Drush Recipes different? * Use cases for this?     * First-time site builds     * Development/Testing     * drush ddt     * drup     * dvr     * Chain them together (reference)     * dwr - Interactive (What theme do you want to install?)     * Madlib (Tokenize Drush commands)     * Reference Make files * Where can we see your recipes and contribute our own?

Talking Drupal #040 - E-Learning with Bryan Ollendyke

## ELMS * What is ELMS? * So why Drupal or more importantly, why not Moodle? * Is there a Paas option to use ELMS? * How long has this been around? * Is it a project? or a distribution? * Before we started recording, you mentioned the ELMS style guide. What is that? * What was the D6 functionality? * How has the functionality changed in D7? * Why go the route of 10 different distributions instead of one?     * How do they all work together? Can they share content or functionality? * What are the D7 distributions?     * ELMS: Course Information System     * ELMS: Massively Open Online Course (MOOC)     * ELMS: Collaborative learning     * ELMS: Media     * Ulmus Distribution (base distribution)     * Planned for the future         * ELMS: ICOR Distribution         * ELMS: LAR Distribution         * ELMS: CIS Compliance         * ELMS: CIS Helpdesk         * ELMS: Case based learning distro * How did you get it to be accepted by the university? Especially with the GPL license? * You mentioned that your are able to contribute back to Drupal in a way that is a bit different from most universities. Do you want to explain that a little bit? * Why work directly in Education?  ## Use Cases * Is this targeted primarily at Universities or K-12 districts? * Do you know of any, or have a list of schools using it now? * What’s in the pipeline for future development/functionality?  ## Questions from Twitter * [Eric Aitala](http://twitter.com/‏aitala) What are your thoughts about MOOCs and their relevance in HigherEd? * [Rachel Lawson](http://twitter.com/rachel_norfolk) Interested in plans. Just about to migrate a site to d7 for Cardiff University Hospital that has CPD work on it... (Continuing Professional Development)  ## NodeSquirrel Ad Have you heard of/used NodeSquirrel? Use "StartToGrow" it's a 12-month free upgrade from the Start plan to the Grow plan. So, using it means that the Grow plan will cost $5/month for the first year instead of $10. (10 GB storage on up to 5 sites)
