We'll take an in-depth, technical look at the challenges of migrating external data into Drupal. Working from a live example, we'll use Drupal 7's Migrate module to pull data into a Drupal site. This will be a technical session designed to help you solve your own data migration problems. Topics will include: Migration strategies for Drupal 7. Why the Migrate module rocks. The Migrate UI. Preparing data for migration. Defining source data for migration. Defining target objects for migration. Migrating nodes, users and taxonomy terms. Handling Drupal fields. Extending Migrate module. Using Drush with Migrate. The session will examine a real-world scenario involving an Oracle-to-Drupal migration for a Minnesota non-profit. Presenter: Ken Rickard
