First Belgian DrupalCamp

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:51:23 -0400

Next weekend, on Saturday June 27, the French-speaking Drupal community in Belgium is organizing Belgium's very first DrupalCamp. The event takes place in Louvain-la-Neuve which makes it pretty accessible for both Dutch and French-speaking Belgians. Details are available on http://drupalfr.be. Due to the work of Gilles Bailleux, the event got some great press in this weekend's edition of the Belgian newspaper, La Libre Belgique. Both a screenshot and a PDF are provided below.

It's always great to meet Drupal people, so I currently plan to go to Utrecht on Friday, to Louvain-la-Neuve on Saturday, and back to Utrecht on Sunday to help with the Drupal 7 usability code sprint. It's just great to see so many community events being organized – we've gotten to a point where there are often Drupal events happening at the same time in different places in the world.

It is a real honor and privilege that BusinessWeek included me on their list of top 30-and-under innovators for 2008. I'm very happy to see Drupal getting this level of recognition from the business world. What BusinessWeek only hints at, though, is the importance of all the thousands of people, including my new colleagues at Acquia, who are working every day to make Drupal great. This is a big milestone for Drupal so congratulations to all of you.
