Drupal Developer Days Dublin - Day 7

Another great day, and the final day, of Drupal Developer Days Dublin! The conference continued with more excellent sessions and, of course, sprinting.

There were a few sore heads after the party last night, but it didn't stop people turning up this morning for the first sessions at 9:30am. Yesterday saw two Annertechies presenting sessions, and today continued with another Annertechie session, this time from Anthony on "Maps and Openlayers". Unfortunately, I continued in my trend and didn't make it to this one either, as, during the final session of the day, I was busy wrapping things up and tearing down posters so we could be out of the building on time.

As it happens, it wasn't quite the final session of the day. I had to give one to wrap up the event, including sharing some final numbers on the event. As the slide above shows, there were:

• Over 210 attendees
• 24 sessions
• 2 workshops
• 1 job speed dating event
• 120+ people sprinting, over 7 days
• Over 120 commits to Drupal core, including 85 commits made on Irish soil
• And many people (including me!) uploaded their first Drupal 8 core patch

Before I sign off this final blog post of the week, I really need to thank some people, without which I couldn't have organised this event:

• Mike, Drupal Ireland chair and Annertech project manager, who managed my time both in work and on Drupal Dev Days, and who made sure I stayed on top of things
• Conor, for organising all the tea/coffee, sandwiches and cake!
• Edward, for taking the lead on the website development, design and for designing the t-shirts too
• Eoin in DIT, for helping secure the venue in DIT - which they gave to us entirely for free!
• Heather, for all her promotion and sponsorship wrangling
• Gary, Louis and Paul for managing the t-shirt stand all weekend
• Andrew, José and the numerous other volunteers who contributed their time
• Gábor, chx, xjm and YesCT for helping promote the event and encouraging people to come

Thank you all for all your help, and thanks to everyone who came too. It's been a really great week, although an exhausting one! I'm looking forward to the next Drupal Dev Days, wherever that will be. However, for now, I'm looking forward to getting to sleep!

Thanks everyone!
