DrupalCon London Wrapup

ikos — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 12:00:00 +0000

73 Sessions and 87 BoFs later it's all over and we can emerge from the DrupalCon bubble.
DrupalCon London has been an amazing success with a final attendance of 1751.

We're delighted to announce that as well as being the biggest European DrupalCon in terms
of attendees, DrupalCon London was also a profitable event - investing over
£38,000 back into the Drupal Community.

Thank you to all of the volunteers, organisers and sponsors for making this happen -
in particular to Neil Kent, Megan Sanicki and Isabell Schulz for their tireless work behind
the scenes.

Ticket Sales Are Open Again

Isabell — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 16:00:00 +0000

If you haven't gotten a ticket to DrupalCon London next week, now is your chance. Because we were able to annex another venue, we have 55 tickets left. We've already gone through our wait list, and can now release them to the general public. Because it is so close to the date, these tickets are only for the conference: t-shirts and party tickets are not available.

Come join the largest European DrupalCon ever. It's one of the best chances you'll have all year to learn from and network with your colleagues.

Inviting Wait-listers to Register. You're Almost In!

psuway — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 07:30:00 +0000

EDIT: We've closed the wait list. We'll be opening any remaining tickets to the general public as soon as the current wait-listers have used their coupon codes.

When it looked like we were going to sell out the largest European DrupalCon ever, our dedicated team immediately started brainstorming ways to get those from the wait list to DrupalCon. We found a way.

Schedule Your BoF Now!

ikos — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 16:30:00 +0000

If you've never been to a DrupalCon before, you'll probably be wondering what people are talking about when they mention the great BoF session they went to.

A BoF is more formally known as a "Birds of a Feather" session - where groups with similar interests can meet up. The term is derived from the proverb Birds of a Feather flock together or Byrdes of on kynde and color flok and flye allwayes together. in its old English form.

Drupal Performance Training

ikos — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 15:15:00 +0000

If you already know what nginx/PHP-FPM, opcode caching (APC), memcached, Redis, varnish, xdebug and xhprof are then you probably don't need to attend the Drupal Performance and Scalability pre-conference training event on Monday 22nd August. You'd also do very well at Drupal Buzzword Bingo.

However, if any of those terms means absolutely nothing to you, your Drupal site is probably not performing as well as it could.

Jobs and Special Offers from DrupalCon Sponsors

megansanicki — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 08:00:57 +0000

DrupalCon sponsors are great for many reasons. Their financial support helps fund DrupalCon, so we can offer the lowest ticket price in the industry. For this event, they are offering even more!
