Track: 
Media Summit
Motivation: 

On many Drupal jobs you will migrate legacy content. In this case analysis of a large Brazilian news portal migration we will talk about ways to structure your new content, how to identify the location of the legacy content and how to import it to Drupal cleanly and effectively using the Feeds module. While targeted mainly for the Drupal site builder, this lecture will provide a study foundation for beginner users and a general view of the process for non-technical users.

Brief Description: 

You got a new, fast and fully themed Drupal website almost ready for your client. The only thing that stands between you and the project delivery is migrating the content of the old, ugly and complex custom coded legacy website. On this session we will follow the importation of a large Brazilian news portal data and talk a little about how to accomplish this last milestone on a quick, secure and clean way using the Feeds module.
