Dries Keynote - Drupalcon Paris 2009

Session now over. Please click read more to get to the live blog.

Drupalcon Paris 2009 - Day 1

Official day one was more a warm-up day but the venue was plenty busy enough. The code sprint room was rammed and overflowed into the break-out room where the sponsor expo is.

I was hoping to blog from the barcamp but I ended up hosting one of the sessions and then looking for my phone for the other 2. That was annoying as I found it in a pocket of my bag I’d already checked about 5+ times. Bah.

Anyway, fun was had by all despite the internet being a bit temperamental. Apparently that has been fixed for tomorrow.

Drupalcon Paris 2009 - Arrival

I took the Eurostar over and arrived at about 17:30 local time which gave me a few moments in my room to change but I soon headed out to the venue to see who was there. I met up with a couple of hitherto unknowns and we ended up going to grab some food at Chez Papa’s.

I really have go to recommend the Magret de canard (with the poivre vert) it was cooked just right. Tomorrow is the proper first day of the con so I shall be up with the birds to do some work, listening, learning and networking.

Drupalcamp Paris 4

I shall be live blogging (or trying to) from the first session I will be attending on Tuesday 1st Sept at Drupalcon Paris 2009. I'm hoping that the twitter hashtag of #drupalcon doesn't saturate the feed though. I might have to remove it if it gets bad.

The barcamp page seems a bit full so I might not get in. Also I have a huge amount of work to do. Every time I try and get to a con like this work gets in the way. Bah. We'll see how it goes.

All over the place

Well I'm looking forward to drupalcon in Paris next week. If anyone wants to meet up to talk about drupal, UX, CiviCRM or making the world a better place using drupal, please get in touch.

I'm probably going to have to miss much of Saturday's schedule but otherwise I shall be there and firing on most cylinders. There's some pressing work I need to continue with while at the con so you may find me in the 'do some coding' parts.

I'm also looking forward to being able to take a moment to look at drupal 7 and what it has to offer, and then what I can offer it in return.
