"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.
