Last weekend, we headed down to Manchester for DrupalCamp New Hampshire. Building on last year's successful Drupal beginner training day, the local user group organized an awesome one-day camp with 30+ great sessions, training, and even a code sprint.
Its often been said that the best way to get involved in the Drupal community is to dive in head-first and see where to help out. For the past year or so I’ve been nervous about giving my input on support forums and editing documentation. Always questioning my knowledge, I took the easy route by encouraging others to do so first. DrupalCon London was the first time I participated in a code sprint (well, documentation sprint), and I have to say that I’m a believer!
Last weekend, five members of our team went down to Boston for the third annual Drupal Design Camp. Held on the MIT campus at the Stata Center, the camp was a great success, extremely well organized, and lots of fun to attend. On the drive back to Montreal, I was thinking about why Drupal Camp is so important to both building a local Drupal community, and to fostering the talents of individuals.
This year is going to be my first DrupalCamp ever, and I have to say it's been amazing to watch the community pull together to make this happen!
Recently, I saw a blog post making its way around the web from Max Gladwell, entitled “10 ways to change the world through social media.”
One of the most frequently asked questions we get is: “What’s the difference between Drupal and [another CMS]?” According to NTEN’s recent survey, the difference is that Drupal is the best.
