I had an excellent time with fellow drupalars at Drupal Camp Mumbai held at IIT, Powai. It feels great to put faces to irc nicknames and meet the people for real. This always amazes me :).
I was bit late hence missed drupal song ( which I heard was fun ) but reached in time for keynote by Dries Buytaert, original creator and project lead for the Drupal. Dries spoke about early days of drupal and how it has evolved into one of the successful open source project. He also emphasized on having a strong community and then shared his thoughts on drupal’s future.
Jacob Singh’s “How to have an open relationship with software (and still get paid) – Free software in material world“, mainly focussed on how each one of us can benefit by being part of drupal community and in the process grow as a individual/company within drupal community. I really liked his presentation, especially self portraits 🙂
“Drupal Entities Unleashed – Create your own information architecture with Drupal” by Mukesh Agarwal was a good introduction to entities in drupal. He started with basic concepts and then went on to code level details.
“Drupal, Migrating to Drupal was never so easy” by Piyuesh Kumar & Dipen Chaudhary demonstrated migration of ROR website into drupal using migrate module. They covered various features of migrate module and it’s integration with drush. It was a great mix of code and actual migration process. This was followed by a good Q& A session.
This kind of summarizes my day at DCM and looking forward for tomorrow’s code sprint. If you guys missed today, don’t miss tomorrow, there are some kool sessions scheduled along with code sprint.
c ya tomorrow 🙂
