Data Archiving – a case study

posted on March 17, 2016

The relational database, used by the Human Kindness Foundation, was feeling the effects of bloat. Their main database tables contained decade’s worth of data that was no longer current.

This session presents the audience with Mark’s experience developing an archive process. Attendees to this presentation will benefit from the conversation with HKF staff and the Agile process to develop the archive tables and queries.

Mapping Durham Civil Rights History with Drupal 8

posted on March 17, 2016

In 2015, Savas Labs engaged with Barbara Lau and the Pauli Murray Project at the Duke Human Rights Center to rebuild their faltering, and previously vibrant online map of historical locations and events associated with the legacy of Pauli Murray. The site had not been updated in a while, and due to automatic updates to the Google Maps API, had been rendered fairly unusable.

To reclaim the powerful community resource, Savas Labs decided to rebuild the map in a then beta version of Drupal 8 to leverage some of the advantages of the newer platform while incorporating a new design, transitioning to free and open source tools that removed the previous bounds of Google Maps integration, while learning at every turn.

Come to this session to learn more about local history, the Drupal platform, generally, Drupal 8 and designing in Drupal 8 more specifically, and modern web mapping tools.
