More time doing repetitive tasks while building a Drupal site means less time to push the envelope. This is a story about how we got out of this infinite loop and started spending our time more wisely in Drupal through the use of "features". This presentation will be split between a brief time-elapsed history of the problem, a step-by-step demo of packaging a feature in code, and a demo/discussion of how features and Spaces can change how you think about Drupal site architecture altogether.
Presented by: Ian Ward, Young Hahn, and Robert Soden
