Chris Brying of Gravitek Labs gave a presentation about the Patterns module. The Patterms module enables you to develop scripts in easy-to-read XML-style language to automate site configuration steps. Any form that you can submit on a Drupal site can be scripted via Patterns.
Note: The audio volume changes considerably during the screencast. I was recording on an iPod, and had to move the iPod any time a person asked a question. Also, the video abruptly ends – but towards the end of the Q&A session.
