Drupal Developer Days Dublin - Day 6

Day 6 of Drupal Developer Days Dublin, and Day 1 of the sessions, got underway today. Over 200 people are in attendance for this part of the conference, and there's a great atmosphere around the place.

There were many great sessions on today. Unfortunately I was running around for most of the day ensuring rooms were ok, wifi stayed up and the tea/coffee kept flowing, so didn't get to see many of the sessions. However, the couple of sessions I did manage to sneak into were fantastic, namely "Multilingual Drupal 8 - what to look forward to?" from Gábor Hojtsy and "Dependency Injection in Drupal 8" by Kat Bailey.

I didn't even get to two sessions given by my fellow Annertechies! Alan presented a session on the new templating system in Drupal 8, Twig, while Edward gave a session entitled "Think CSS" which looked at the history of CSS, gave an overview of writing maintainable CSS and its future.

Lunch today was sponsored by CommPress, and our caterers went that extra step further and added the sponsor's name and the #drupaldevdays hashtag to the packaging, which was a really nice touch. However, Conor had organised a special surprise for all the attendees - blue cupcakes in the shape of a Druplicon! They even turned your tongue blue :)

Following the sessions came the offical party (sponsored by Freistilbox) in the The Odeon bar just up the road. We had the whole of the top floor to ourselves, and they even put on a summer BBQ outside. Of course, the sprints continued with many coders returning to the sprint rooms after the start of the party fesitivies.

Last day of Dev Days is tomorrow, for which there should be some more great sessions, and some last minute patching ahead of the code freeze on Monday.
