DRUPAL CAMPS IN MIDDLE AMERICA
As promised in one of our previous blog posts, the area between North and South America will not be forgotten. Therefore we present you Drupal Camps in Middle America. We already guided you through Drupal Camps, which were organized in Africa, Asia, North America, Europeand South America. Since our expectations were so wrong last time, we’ll say that we expect Middle America to be ranked between South America and Africa in our world tour ranking table, which measures the quantity of organized Drupal Camps.
Let’s clear up first the geographic part of view. Term Middle America can also be used as Central America, because both words can be used a synonyms. But to be fair, that’s careless. Central America consists of seven countries between Mexico and Colombia, excluding the southern part of Mexico and the nations of the Caribbean. That’s in contrast to a term Middle America, which includes both parts. Therefore, we’ll stick to the word Middle America.
It’s true that different authors defined it in many different ways, even with some of the countries from South America also included, so the scope of the term Middle America can vary. But that’s the common case in sociology, so you just have to go with one of the available definitions. We went for the one explained above.
This year’s Drupal Camps
Since south part of Mexico is also included, there is room to once again mention one Drupal Camp, which was organized in Mexico and we did not present in detail in our blog post about Drupal Camps in North America. This is Drupal Camp Guadalajara, which was this year organized from 7th to 9th of April in the University Center of Economic and Administrative Sciences (CUCEA). There were two keynote speakers — Joe Shindelar and Carla Briceno.
