ON WHICH DRUPAL CAMP TO GO?
As mentioned in our interview with Janez Urevc there are too many Drupal events, which are internationally oriented. DrupalCons grow each year and so does Drupal Camps. It’s hard for organizers to attract visitors, because Drupalistas can’t travel every weekend. Knowledge of where to expand your Drupal skills is, therefore, a key thing. In the past few weeks, we have written many blog posts about Drupal Camps for you. Now, we give you an overview of the findings in our Drupal Camp world tour, so that your decisions which Drupal Camps to visit will be easier.
After reading about and listening to many sessions, workshops, sprint days … worldwide, we’ve got the idea to present Drupal Camps according to the continent, where they take place. Some Drupal Camps were left out on purpose, some were cancelled, some were not on the map for a long time and some were accidentally forgotten. With the help of some Drupalistas — again thank you very much — we were able to cruise from one continent to the other and conclude our list with all the reliable information.
Early beginnings
Our world tour started in Africa, where the situation about Drupal is strongly connected with a general situation in Africa. Not many Drupal camps took place this year. Still, the most were in the most developed country South Africa. Interesting fact was that Drupal Camp Johannesburg changed its name to Drupal Camp Gauteng to better represent the geographic area that it represented. Besides Drupal, visitors were able to learn more about PHP on DrupalCamp Nigeria.
We continued with Drupal Camps in Asia, where the situation is much more improved than in Africa. At the beginning of the year the whole attention was on DrupalCon Asia in Mumbai, so it wasn’t until March this year that Drupal Camps came to life. The biggest Drupal Camp is Drupal Camp Delhi, which is also one of the most known Drupal Camps worldwide. It attracts Drupalistas from all over the world, despite major problems about pollution in the city.
