drupal booking system brainstorm

I want to do this session to see whether it's possible to have a booking system
api for drupal. My thoughts are that thru' the use of an api, contributed
modules could then be created that would provide 'objects' that can be booked,
eg; room booking, flight booking, hire car booking, etc
Also, to have the option of hooking into ecommerce if required (my requirements
are for a room booking system that only takes reservations, payments are done
thru' another system).
I think this is possible by reusing some of the existing core and contributed

Asset Management

Asset management, particularly the management of audio, video, and image content, tends to be the cornerstone of most of our large-scale projects.
While we've had nominal success with a variety of the image management tools for Drupal, every module tends to have weaknesses:
- image-only support
- duplicating work already in core
- poor architecture
- SLOW
- lack of organization or file-system-like structure

Ubercart Development

Skill level note: To fully understand the session, programmer skill would be required. However, much of the discussion would be fully understandable by anyone with administrator skill on up.

Ubercart, a new e-commerce module package for Drupal, has been in development for almost a year now and is still going strong. While many Drupal site owners, consultants, and development studios have been getting on board using and developing for Ubercart, the project is still an unknown entity in the Drupal community at large. This session is meant to start fixing that, offering anyone who attends a firsthand account of the project, the current status of Ubercart use and development, and a whole host of tips for getting in on the action.

Work Group: Unified Content Abstraction for Drupal

I have been working on the MySite module for a year now, and there are a growing number of modules that are solving a similar problem: How do I pull content from Drupal and present it in a different context than it was originally intended?

Example modules:

* Panels
* Views
* Custom PHP Blocks
* Google Gadget creator [by FGM]
* Component
* MySite

I have specifically been trying MySite/Panels/Views integration, and it seems the best path is to unify the underlying logic systems for defining, selecting, and generating content.

Using Drupal as a Backend for Firefox Extensions

This is a case study showing some of the synergies and obstacles of using Drupal as the server-side application to support the client lifecycle of a Firefox Extension.

Many of the social networking facilities of Drupal match the requirements of Firefox Extensions (so-called Add-ons) quite well. But there are interesting challenges for developing server-side logic in Drupal to support the on-ramp of Rich Internet Applications that those little Firefox Extensions really are.

What we'll cover:
