drupal

It was my first time attending DrupalCon, and what a difference from your typical corporate fare. The positive energy is quite palbable, I'm guessing since many are giving away their time and knowledge to advance this great platform, Drupal. Attendees were quite friendly, and I met several people, including some lunchmates through Twitter.

Here are my notes from the various presentations I attended:

I always wanted to set up a website for myself, and had many choices for how to do it. Initially I was looking at Wordpress, which is generally a great choice for quickly setting up a blog. At some point I had heard about Drupal (back on version 4.7 or so) and found it to be really interesting. I've spent the last couple years following its progress (Now on version 6, with version 7 in development) and have been spending some time getting to know it better. I joined the (now defunct) Gnomepal group earlier this year to pitch in and learn even more.
