Home safely from #drupalcon, but I find myself completely dispirited. We released tons of CO2 flying to Pittsburgh while the world burned around us, and instead of using what little precious time and resources we have left to help solve problems, we spent our time listening to the #Pantheon leadership tie themselves into knots to avoid taking the smallest possible ethical stance against hosting fascists that are responsible for injustice and state-sanctioned violence around the world.
Conference centers really need to think more about mobility assistance. My foot is hurting, so it took me extra time to walk all the way around the parameter of this very large building, and by the time I got there, the #drupalcon session was standing room only.
If you care about Drupal being an inclusive & open community, please consider how Pantheon's actions, and the #Drupal Association's tacit endorsement of them as a #DrupalCon sponsor, looks & feels to people whose human rights are directly under attack from a group that is literally being platformed by a supposedly-enlightened leader in our community.
Spent 3 nights in Ghent and was woken up by the sun every day. Had a couple of beers and good conversations with the fine folks around @drupalbe. Finally at the train station literally bumped into @wimleers on his way back from #drupalcon Portland. Thanks @Klara, @borisson_ and their team for organizing this edition of #drupalcamp Ghent.
Weird that @dries is running a Shark Tank for Drupal ideas at #drupalcon, but it is not clear where funding is coming from and what winners/recipients will be required to provide in exchange. https://dri.es/shark-tank-meets-drupal
Parce que ça me semblait loin, parce que j'étais bien chargé, j'ai loupé tout ce qui fallait faire et du coup je ne serai pas à la Drupalcon de Lille cette semaine :(
Amusez-vous bien les copains et les copines ! j'espère vous voir la prochaine fois. #drupal#drupalcon
"I would say #BackdropCMS has been a net-positive for the #Drupal project… Hopefully [organizations with Drupal 7 sites] will choose to upgrade to Drupal 10 or Drupal 11… but I also recognize that there are a lot of organizations that may not have the means to do that, and for them, Backdrop might be a great solution… I think we can promote that as one of the options for people that are stuck with Drupal 7…"
Hello Portland. #drupalcon begins the same way it did 2 years ago. I saw @volkswagenchick on the train and was too shy to say hi, then a rainy walk to McMenamins Broadway Pub.
Had such a fantastic time at #DrupalCon this year and saw some amazing talks, but it felt super condensed with only 2 days of sessions. The last couple days have been a blur so I look forward to decompressing this weekend and writing up a post!
The “Defend #FOSS” talk from #DrupalConEur is now available on YouTube. 📽️ It features @horncologne and myself in a breathtaking (spoken) duet that we hope to further enhance and repeat at other *Cons and *Camps. (Interested? let us know!) 🎤 🤩
Was curious why only one #Drupalcon session was accepted from our entire company, when normally there are at least three or four. However, looking at the program, I see there are six sessions about #AI scheduled for today alone.
