Some links have been stripped from this article due to age and inaccessibility. Having been to a couple of the London Drupal Code Sprints [eventbrite.com] now, I have managed to contribute a number of patches for documentation on Drupal Core (None have been accepted at this time, but I am working on them still to get them in) but there seems to be a lot of momentum at the moment behind getting more involved in the community.

Some links have been stripped from this article due to age and inaccessibility. All links are to drupal.org unless otherwise stated Well this always happens, I overslept and woke up at midday! So as I write this I have little to report. I will be watching the keynote by Fabien Potencier (The gentleman behind the Symfony [Symfony.com], as well as Angie Byron’s talk on Drupal 8: What you need to know, My [meetup. [Read More]

Some links have been stripped from this article due to age and inaccessibility. All URL’s are to drupal.org unless otherwise stated Day 2 of DrupalCon Munich, and once again I was up for the keynote (I am doing 1 keynote better than last year! At D.C. London I only made Dries' keynote). This time it was by Anke Domscheit-Berg, entitled “Digital Democracy - How Technology helps Governments and Citizens to Open Up Politics and Public Administration” It was a very interesting keynote on the importance of open data, and allowing people access to non-sensitive data.

Some links have been stripped from this article due to age and inaccessibility. First day of DrupalCon proper. It’s lunchtime and I am writing my blog. So far the sessions have been good. Dries' keynote [drupal.org] was different, it was an interview done by Josh Koenig (JoshK [drupal.org]) on D.O [drupal.org]. The questions were mostly regarding Drupal 8, Acquia, and (Most importantly!) how Dries keeps his hair spiky! After the Keynote, I went a long to the Caching with no fear [drupal. [Read More]

(adopts pants Geordie accent) Day 0* In the DrupalCon Munich Hotel And David is determined to write a blog everyday! DrupalCon is finally here! Not that I have been waiting for a long time or anything! As I write this I have just popped up to my room to grab my AC adapter, and my conference pass so people know I am a Drupaler. Not that they wouldn’t guess given I am wearing my XKCD “compiling” tshirt [xkcd. [Read More]

Links have been stripped from this article due to age and inaccessibility. I have just booked my ticket to DrupalCon Munich this August - I can’t wait! Looking forward to seeing people I met last year in London, meeting new people and drinking plenty of German beer! (Drupal + Beer = awesomeness! Seriously hoping Drupal + German Beer > Awesomeness!) Now all I need to do is find a hotel… Thoughts on hotels near The Westin Grand in Munich I’d appreciate it! [Read More]

This page is heavily out of date, as Drupal 8 is now available. Links have been stripped from this article due to age and inaccessibility. I’ve not blogged for what seems like an age! I wish I had an excuse above and beyond “I’ve been working and moving house” but I don’t, so I won’t give an excuse. Oh hang on I just have. Bother! Anyway I figured I would try and update my blog more regularly in the future (I know I always say that but what the heck I’ll give it a go) I decided to write my next blog article on something that I am being asked a lot by my customers at Contemporary Fusion Computer Services [Link removed, site and company no longer actuve.
