Come for the Con, Stay for the Sprints

Each DrupalCon is filled with inspiration, networking, and fun — and while cutting-edge sessions are plentiful, sprints are the heart of the conference. A sprint is a get-together for focused work on a project, and a fantastic opportunity to make contributions to Drupal.

Even if you are not giving a session or leading a BoF ("birds of a feather" event) at DrupalCon, there is plenty of opportunity to give back and make a difference when you attend the sprints. There will be extended sprints taking place between 19-27 September, but the main sprint day is Friday 25 September.

Announcing a New Approach to Community at DrupalCon

Flickr photo: Boris Baldinger Drupal is a lot of things. It’s a platform, a CMS, software, and code. But here’s what Drupal is most of all: community.

That’s why DrupalCon has had community content baked in, first as a stand alone track across the entire event, then as a summit on the Monday of the Con. Now, we’re ready to double down on community starting at DrupalCon Barcelona. Together with Drupal’s Community Working Group, we’ve taken your feedback and devised a brand-new approach to community at the Cons.

For us, DrupalCon is the most fun time of the year. There’s nothing better than getting together with our friends, colleagues, and community to work and celebrate together.

While the sessions, BOFs, and other work-focused moments are indelibly important, the bonds we build and the friendships we make are just as critical to the continued growth and success of the project. That’s why we'd like to invite you out to Trivia Night, sponsored again by Consult and Design.
