A Most Accommodating Module: How the Charts Module is a Microcosm of Drupal
Presented by Daniel Cothran, from JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. The presentation will reflect on Drupal's flexibility to accommodate a wide range of possible workflows and use-cases, using the Charts module as an example. He will demonstrate at least seven ways to generate the same chart and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the various approaches. He'll also zoom out to discuss some of the wider implications of this flexibility, including the challenges to document, maintain, and promote Drupal's features.
Daniel is among the top 60 Drupal contributors and maintains many important contributed modules on Drupal.org. [Visit his profile on Drupal.org](https://www.drupal.org/u/andileco).
