![]() ![]() This time it was for Drupal 10 and 11 and how Drupal is going to be improving the UI. G: I always like the Driesnote for being able to see the future roadmap. What about Driesnote - did you have a chance to hear it and what are your impressions? We experienced that kind of hype of reconnecting again after not seeing one another in person for three years. It felt so cool being able to go to the afterparties together. ![]() G: For people who've been coming to the event for a long time, like myself, it was great to get that sense of seeing the people that you know so well. It felt like the audience was definitely smaller but quite intimate - like people were there for a purpose. And to hang out for a few days with everyone. John: Yeah, it definitely was nice to see and talk to people again. So it was the first in-person DrupalCon since 2019! Was it fun to finally chat with other Drupalers face-to-face? Therefore it was much easier to build a rapport. But the enthusiasm of attendees was easily as great, if not more so! The size also meant that you’d get to chat with people multiple times through the event. Rosie: I’d agree, compared with DrupalCon Seattle, which was my first DrupalCon, this event was much smaller. ![]() A lot of people were amped and ready to get back out and reconnect with the community. This time around, although Covid travel restrictions and reticence hampered the attendance somewhat. Drupal was still fairly new, people were just learning about it, and there was a lot of buzz around it. Glenn: My first DrupalCon was in DC back in 2009. That shined through virtually and in person. ![]() Although I’ve only just experienced my second DrupalCon, I’m happy to see the Drupal Community continue to be welcoming. Some shared their experiences and intersectional challenges in paving a course for themselves at that event. This year, I joined the Women in Drupal luncheon. But once the session starts, you already have something in common, whether it be problem-solving or storytelling. There is an irreplaceable sense of camaraderie in collaborating at in-person events. But it was refreshing to meet some of my remote colleagues for the first time. The virtual conference provided accessible means for attending sessions and making connections. So when was the first time you visited a DrupalCon? Could you share what has changed about the event since then?Īmanda: This was my first in-person DrupalCon! My very first event was the virtual DrupalCon North America 2021. Read on to discover their views on the event, on what makes the Drupal community special, and so much more. We found out about their experience of DrupalCon. Now the dust has settled on this year’s event we chatted with some of our team who attended. As well as to contribute to the brightest future of Drupal. And, most importantly, it continues in the desire to give back to the wonderful community. But we know for sure that DrupalCon never ends! It continues in reminiscences, recaps, discussions, and ambitious plans for the next Drupal event, whether regionally or internationally. The largest Drupal event of 2022, DrupalCon Portland, is over. “It's great to be back together with so many familiar faces and individuals who are so passionate about Drupal. It’s a one-of-a-kind community that lets us have a chance to be a part of something bigger than ourselves." ![]()
