'Additionally, enjoy a bag lunch with a refreshing cold meal provided every midday.' So #DrupalCon Barcelona food won't be anywhere as good as Lille was last year.
I am sure there were many other factors but apparently a prominent Drupal company owned by an anti-vaxxer (while he haven't posted much on his views, his wife had been an anti vaxxer many years before covid) put financial pressure on the Drupal Association to drop mask requirements by withdrawing his company from Pittsburgh because of mask mandates.

Mind you, Drupal is not alone in not doing the right thing: Fosdem didn't have a mask mandate despite being famously crowded. !!Con doesn't have either despite having one of the best Code Of Conducts I've ever seen. But is that an excuse? #drupalcon
Interesting tidbit from the #DrupalCon Portland 2024 module development workshop that I taught: of the 21 students who were there at the beginning of class, almost half of them used remote IDEs almost exclusively!
We have a word for drupalflu. We had it for at least fifteen years, possibly more, can't quite remember. So we know germs spread at our conferences and know it well.
Working on a post-DrupalCon blog post, but in the meantime, you can watch the recording of my presentation "Save time upgrading from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 using Retrofit." There are about 25 minutes of slides and 30 minutes of discussion. #drupalcon
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.
Sad to have missed both #DrupalCon and #11tyconf this week, but I am a person who DOES watch the recordings. With knitting. And popcorn. Can’t wait to dig into some fantastic sessions!
2️⃣ For Experience Builder: it’s in the earliest possible stages, but WE NEED YOU to help define the SDCs for the default design system! We made it easy to test+contribute SDCs: https://www.drupal.org/project/experience_builder/issues/3446052 — see the GIF 🤓
"I, for one, will be wearing an #N95 mask to #Drupalcon, and I encourage others to do the same, since the #covid pandemic is not actually over and many attendees will have medical issues that either make them extra susceptible to infection or make it potentially catastrophic if they do contract the virus."
This should've been mandatory if they really cared about inclusion. But, well.
A BoF was scheduled for Retrofit - room G131 at 3:3Opm! If you want to ask questions about Retrofit for your Drupal 7 upgrade, that's the place to be #DrupalCon
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.

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.
