Description
The Drupal Association is hosting this year’s European DrupalCon in Copenhagen, Denmark, from the 23-27th August. With over 3000 people having attended the first event in San Francisco earlier this year, DrupalCon is rapidly becoming one of the largest events in the Open Source calendar.
“This is a very exciting time for the Drupal community, so we expect DrupalCon Copenhagen to be buzzing,” comments Dries Buytaert, the projects founder, who will be giving his regular ‘State of Drupal’ update as one of the event’s keynote presentations. “Our latest figures show that over one percent of the top million global websites now run on Drupal. With the release of Drupal 7.0 now imminent, and having diversified the project to allow different ‘distributions’, similar to Linux, users can expect some big advances.”
After announcing the Whitehouse website as a new customer ahead of DrupalCon San Francisco, the Drupal community has maintained its lofty track record announcing new Drupal sites at both the UN (Global Pulse) and within the European Commission (Capacity4Dev) ahead of the Copenhagen event. (see below for further case study details).
Rasmus Lerdorf, the author of the original PHP scripting language and renowned guru of LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) web development will be joining Buytaert as a keynote speaker at DrupalCon. All other presentations have been voted on by members of the Drupal Community, with the final programme announced (yesterday) on 18th July: http://cph2010.drupal.org/news/initial-program . In addition, the main venue will be set aside for a massive Open Source ‘unconference’ or bar camp, which promises to be one of the highlights of the event.
