Jake Strawn of Drupal Dynamics and I are teaming up to propose a Accelerated grid theming using NineSixty session for DrupalCon Paris. (To be fair, he beat me to it and was gracious enough to add me as a co-presenter.)

Our session will cover the following basics of the 960 grid system:

• What is 960.gs?
• Using the NineSixty theme as your starting point / parent theme
• Understanding the grid-x, push-x, pull-x classes
• Why a grid-based system can help speed up theme development
• How to break the 960-pixel limit

In the last month, I have presented sessions on 960.gs and the NineSixty theme at DrupalCamps in Copenhagen, Helsinki, and Stockholm. Most recently, I co-presented a session at Drupal Design Camp Boston with Nathan Smith, creator of the 960 grid system. You can download the slide decks on our “Presentations” page.

Four Kitchens is proud to announce that we are attending and helping sponsor DrupalCon DC. From March 4th through March 7th, the chefs will be in Washington, D.C. to discuss their recipes for scalability, theme development, module development, design, usability, project management, and business strategy. And we promise we don’t use any secret sauce!

If there is a particular topic you would like to see the chefs present a session on, please add a comment to this entry, contact us, or send us a tweet on Twitter.

Mistakes. Everybody makes ‘em. Everybody loves to hear about other people making ‘em. But why can’t we vote on them according to prevalence and severity? Why??

It’s official: we’re a real company! Today I received a letter from the Texas Secretary of State announcing the formation of Four Kitchen Studios, LLC.

There’s much more to be done, of course, so stay tuned for many exciting announcements in the coming days and weeks.

So what exactly is Four Kitchens? We’re a creative collective based in Austin, TX. Our goal is deceptively simple: to create fun things that people enjoy.
