London Calling - DrupalCon 2011

The London drupal community has thrown a bid into the hat to host DrupalCon 2011. It is a strong bid from a strong team for one of the best cities in the world. So just vote in the poll The preferred venue is Southbank Centre. It tickles me silly to just compare that to a leg of lamb. Don't ask. Ok. Fine. won't be that cruel. Just imagine a pub and food - that's one memory from the first Drupal meet in London. And now Southbank...

There are community polls out on g.d.o for DrupalCon2010 and DrupalCon2011 in Europe. These polls do matter, but are not deal breakers. They are there to reflect the community preference.

And just one last note - I would love Berlin for 2010. I love that city, especially East Berlin. Sorry Copenhagen =(

Drupal package management presentation

It was quiet, I wonder why? Nevermind. I'll try and summarise my talk.

The main aim was to describe some of the ideas behind the dependency and installer api we ( Adrian and me) were working for some time on.

Drupal BOF session at EuroOSCON free for all

O'Reilly have done the good thing. The Drupal BOF session is open to anyone wishing to pop by.

You'll be able to meet with a lot of Drupal developers, since a lot of them will be in town for the DrupalCON and Barcamp Amsterdam

On Tuesday, October 18, at EuroOSCON, Károly Négyesi, a connoisseur of Shakespeare and maths known to many as chx, will present on Drupal API -- An Advanced Web Application.

BarCamp

Due to the fact that we could not get the exposure we wanted during OSCON, the community started "barcamp Amsterdam". During this event -- which takes place after the Drupal Conference and the OSCON -- different opensource project gather around to discuss code and have fun. All the more reason to hop over to Amsterdam, the center of gravity for all things opensource during October! note: this text is based on http://drupal.org/conference-amsterdam-2005

Discussions are brewing to turn part of the Drupal conference in Amsterdam into a wider event for open source projects. The motivation is the lack of any space for open source projects at the O'Reilly event. Details are shaping up here:
