Drupal Developer Days Dublin - Day 1
Get ready, get set, GO!! After months of preparation, today marks the first day of Drupal Developer Days 2013 being held here in Dublin in the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) and organised by yours truly. Of course, there are many volunteers involved, including Mike, Conor, Heather, and others but more about them in another blog post.
For this first part of the conference, there are no sessions, with just full day code sprints from Monday to Thursday. It's the first time that we've held week-long sprints at Dev Days, and mainly driven by the API Code Freeze that's happening the day after Dev Days finishes - 1st July.
It's been a successful day so far, with almost 30 people attending the sprints, including a big turnout from the Multilingual Initiative team. There were some teething problems to begin with, mainly in relation to wifi, but the staff at DIT were amazing and got that sorted fairly quickly.
The sprints continue tonight in TCube which is a coworking space, but also provides space for meetups. Unfortunately I'm unable to attend tonight, so here's hoping they're able to find it ok!
