Drupal as a Content Management Framework supports commenting content out of the box. In the free and hanseatic city of hamburg we have a Drupal based system for collecting informal civil contributions. To collect the data we have a Drupal Backend and a custom decoupled frontend implemented with Vue.js.

The content created by the citizens of the city can range from a hundred entries or more. Each of these contents as well as the comments are analyzed manually by one or more clerks. To simplify the process of comment analysis we have developed a Drupal module: comment-analyzer.

This module shows the administrator important information that helps him to analyze the comments correctly.

The presentation will show how we proceeded to develop our analysis model, which Drupal features like the Batch API we used, how the integration with different open source frameworks worked and an brief introduction to Natural Language Processing (NLP).

The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate how NLP can be used to analyze comments on a Drupal site. We will discuss the different techniques that can be used, such as sentiment analysis, topic modeling, and text classification. We will also showcase the benefits of using NLP especially to make the free and hanseatic city smarter.

In conclusion, this presentation will be a great opportunity for Drupal developers and business owners to learn about the benefits of using NLP to analyze user comments. Attendees will leave the conference with a better understanding of how NLP can be used for e. g. to improve user engagement, detect spam comments, and understand user sentiment.

Backend Development

It seems to be considered a worthwhile APP redesign, it must recover data from the old platform. Sometimes it is as simple as saying "A goes into A, B goes into B". Other times it is "A goes into A if X happens, but if Y happens it goes into B. B goes into C but only if Z happens".

On a daily basis, I have not migrated much data, but projects in which those processes took place were not the easiest ones. In order to further develop, I will provide you with two experiences.

For my first experience, we had almost 150 domains to migrate from a Drupal 7 to a Drupal 8 and around 20000 nodes and 3000 blocks. Following the feature’s needs and the time given, we chose Micro Site to replace Domains and all the blocks were transformed into paragraphs. What this means is that we were in a big case of “A goes into A if X happens, but if Y happens it goes into B. B goes into C but only if Z happens”. Almost every content had a condition for it to be migrated in one way or another.

As for my second experience, we migrated a Spring application to Drupal. It is of the utmost importance to know that Spring uses Neo4J, a graph type database, and our Drupal was using PostgreSQL. For this second use case, we chose to use Open Social and Groups. This time, I knew what we should do and what we should not do. But no one really knew neither what had already been implemented nor how it worked.

In the end and in both cases, I discovered that usually the problems that occur during the process are the same. For that, the following questions come to my mind:

When must we be concerned about migration mapping? In what stage of the project? Do we know the old platform? Do we have access to it? Can we and should we use Migrate?

I encountered projects in which those questions or their possible answers came too late several times.

I would like to end this talk by exposing the conclusions that I have recollected not only from my work experience, but also from my field colleagues. For example: how to try to integrate the migration as soon as possible or how to try to simplify your life with Migrate if the data is too complex.

I hope my experience will bring a new point of view to what you already know and that it can be a moment of sharing!

Innovation & The future

This session explores all aspects of the fast-growing ECA ecosystem:

demonstration of simple installation and building some basic ECA models
highlight the feature rich ECA module with hundreds of events, conditions and actions with zero dependencies
explain how ECA models are managed as Drupal config entities
provide overview of integrations with contribution modules on drupal.org
introduction of support tools like comprehensive documentation, tutorials, videos and an engaging ECA community

The history of ECA will also be outlined, as well as the architecture of the module and why it is here to stay. There have been significant design decisions in ECA's 12-month initial development cycle that keep it maintainable for decades to come, while still being heavily extensible and having decoupled and therefore replaceable UIs.

Your take-away from this session will be to understand that ECA is a default tool for every Drupal site and how it helps you and your users to orchestrate Drupal on all levels of complexity, from all the little tweaks up to the most complex workflow requirements.
