FOSDEM using Drupal

While on the subject of FOSDEM, the FOSDEM 2008 site is built with Drupal. The FOSDEM site's Drupal theme was created and contributed by Netlash.

FOSDEM 2008: Drupal developer room?

FOSDEM, which stands for Free and Open Source Developers' European Meeting, is a yearly free and non-commercial event for the open source community, held in Brussels (Belgium).

Each year FOSDEM sets up developer rooms where teams can meet, discuss, hack and present the latest developments about their project. Joeri Poesen from Krimson, a Belgian Drupal company, is taking the lead in trying to secure and organize a Drupal developer room at FOSDEM this year. Thanks Joeri!

(I co-organized a Drupal developer room in 2005 and can attest that it is a fun and rewarding experience.)

In order to qualify for a room, we need a number of people who are willing to present about Drupal. If you're interested, let us known in the comments or reply to Joeri's call for action or add your thoughts to the wiki. Drupal users unite!

FOSDEM 2007

I'll be talking about Drupal at FOSDEM this year. FOSDEM, which stands for Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting, will take place in Brussels (Belgium) on February 24 and 25.

I got a last-minute invitation because Joe Hewitt from Firebug won't be able to make it. As an avid Firebug user, I find that quite bummer.

The title of my presentation will be "Why Drupal is the answer, regardless of your question". If you have pressing questions that you want me to answer in the presentation (whose answer is "Drupal") or suggestions for topics to cover, let me know in the comments.

FOSDEM 2006 photos

I just processed and uploaded a number of photos that I shot at FOSDEM. As an experiment I converted the photos to black and wite, and tried to give them a grainy look by adding some digital noise. Not sure I like it. Take a look at the photo gallery for a couple more pictures.

FOSDEM 2006

This weekend I'll be at FOSDEM, the yearly Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting in Brussels (Belgium). If you want to hang out with some Drupal people, let me know.
