Adding Love thy CMS to my DrupalCon session proposal
I've been continually defining and redefining the goals of the Schema.org Blueprints module for Drupal.

Ultimately, this secondary goal has led me to reimagine how to build and maintain an instance of Drupal.
In short, there is so much going on with the Schema.org Blueprints modules that my presentation proposal for DrupalCon Portland is a live demo showing how to go from 0-60 with the Schema.org Blueprints module. I am confident that attendees will learn something valuable from my demo of leveraging Schema.org to build an ideal content authoring experience in Drupal. Still, I needed something direct and straightforward to define the overarching goal of the module and presentation, and I decided to prefix my session's title with "Love thy CMS!"
