What does your company do and how do you work with Drupal?
Palantir.net is a full-service design, development, and strategy firm that specializes in providing top-tier Drupal solutions for corporate, educational, cultural, and nonprofit clients. Our team includes several high-profile Drupal community members, including core system developers, prominent module and theme maintainers, and members of the Drupal Association Board and General Assembly. Palantir uses open source technologies to help enable people to share information in new and exciting ways.

How did you first get involved in Drupal?
As a company that's been around since 1996, we've had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of custom and proprietary Web content management platforms. We started working with Drupal in 2006, and swiftly adopted it as our sole platform of choice because of its solid foundation, ease of implementation, and maximum extensibility, not to mention its awesome community. Since then we've become deeply invested in supporting the Drupal project and community. In addition to code contributions, we also provide sponsorship and support for DrupalCamps and other events throughout the year and helped organize DrupalCon Chicago 2011.

What type of work and/or websites do you specialize in?
We like to solve interesting problems for all kinds of companies, organizations, and institutions. Many of the projects that we work on involve architecting and building large Drupal implementations for organizations colleges and universities, museums, publications, media organizations, and others who require multi-site strategies. One of Palantir’s specialties is content migration and customized remote system integration with Drupal. In addition to migrating large amounts of content, documents, and other assets from legacy CMS applications and static HTML, we also have a history of integrating Drupal with remote data sources, such as course listings, digital asset management systems, subscription management, search, and user authentication.

What are you most looking forward to at DrupalCamp Colorado this year?
We're most excited about the opportunity to connect with other members of the Drupal community. DrupalCamps are a great place for both people who are new to Drupal and veteran members of the community to get together and share knowledge, perspectives, and insights. Specifically, we're looking forward to DrupalCamp Colorado as a place where several of the Drupal 8 core initiative leaders will be able to meet in person and work together to help architect the next version of Drupal.

Is there anything else you'd like our attendees to know?
We hope that DrupalCamp Colorado attendees will take a look at a couple of the sessions that Palantir team members will be presenting. Larry Garfield will help attendees "Git with the program" by showing them how easy it is to contribute code to Drupal.org, and Dave Reid will be presenting on the Workbench suite of modules for Drupal 7. Workbench is designed to fill in some of Drupal's functional gaps and make common tasks easier. It not only simplifies and streamlines the process of managing content for authors, editors, and publishers, but also provides new ways to configure editorial access and workflow.
