Maedi Prichard and Murray Woodman will be presenting sessions at the upcoming DrupalSouth conference in Auckland.
Maedi will be presenting the work he has done on Drank, a Drupal 7 module which allows content to be scored against a number of criteria, allowing them to be sorted and presented to users. Drank allows site builders to break free of the normal sorting approaches (date, relevancy) and can be configured to show content according to popularity, quality and other metrics.

Murray will be presenting on the work Morpht has been doing with Look and Modifiers. These two Drupal 8 modules combine to form a powerful presentation layer which can be layered on top of a theme. Editors and site builders have tools which allow them to alter their site without the need to code. This is very helpful for distributions and multisite installations where speed and flexibility are key.
