Drupalcon 2010 Trip Report

Drupalcon 2010 Trip Report

Drupalcon 2010 was held in San Francisco the week of April 19th. As the name implies, the focus of this conference was on the open-source Content Management System known as Drupal.

The conference was well run and the sessions I attended were of uniformly high quality. I've been to a few tech conferences such as Usenix, OSCon and eTech, but this was the most focused one I've ever attended. To get to hang out for 3 days, with 3000 people, all focused on Drupal, was fun, educational and motivating!

I attended a number of sessions, primarily focused on the Systems and Performance related tracks. A summary of my session and keynote notes (taken using Evernote) are presented below.

In summary, I received great value from Drupalcon2010 in San Francisco and am looking forward to attending Drupalcon2011 in Chicago next year! The things I learned will serve me well as my use of Drupal continues to increase, both in my professional and personal life.

My overall understanding of Drupal has increased and in particular, I'm looking forward to applying the performance techniques as needed. I'm also much better prepared for the imminent Drupal 7 release.
