I've been a part of the Swedish podcast Drupalsnack for over 2 years now, and it's always fun to do a podcast while at a DrupalCon. This year, we managed to record the podcast in one of the BoF rooms, but some interference with the recording led up to a re-recording a couple of days later. This year, we did three interviews: Kristoffer's colleague Kevin who was a first-time-attendee at a Drupal event ever, Antje from the Drupal Documentation Group and Holly Ross. Furthermore we talked about the conference itself, highlighted some of the sessions we attended and also covered the upcoming release of Drupal 8 RC1 (that was released two days ago).

I've written a couple of blog entries, trying to capture my stay in Amsterdam and my feelings for a DrupalCon which I attended for more than three days (which has been the case with DrupalCon London and DrupalCon Munich). Not only did Drupal 8 get a BETA during these days, but a lot of sprinting was happening (as always) and it was pure joy walking through the Berlage in the center of town and at the venue, seeing all that work being put into Drupal.

For many years, I've been using Drupal as many people do - by clicking, publishing information and creating websites through the addition of modules and themes. I know how to code in PHP, but with my involvement in the local Drupal community, organizing three DrupalCamps in Gothenburg (2012, 2013 and 2014) and having family and friends, there hasn't been much time to dig down into Drupal and help out with issues and writing code. When DrupalCon Amsterdam came closer I chose to take a couple of vacation days, and stay for the sprints after the camp. To take part in the First-time Sprinter Workshop on Friday and learn how to code in Drupal. First-time… Read more...
