Worried about the different Drupal and SSL security announcements made this week?  Here's what you need to know.

Day 4 (blog 3, don't ask!) of DrupalCon Amsterdam, and Annertech have been at it again. For the third time this week, an Annertechie was on stage. This time Stella gave a presentation about our ground-breaking (our word) #d8in8 competition. Check it out in the video below; Stella is on from 36 mins. Following this, we continued our adventures in expanding our Drupal knowledge - yes, even we have more to learn.

Welcome to Annertech's DrupalCon Amsterdam blog: Day 3. What did we get up to today? As it turns out, lots ... but more importantly (at least for me as the blog editor), we were at Cory Doctorow's keynote speech and then Annertech's Alan Burke's presentation on "Grid Style Sheets" (GSS).

So, here is the second "daily" Annertech round up of DrupalCon Amsterdam (we forgot to write the first blog post, so bear with us!).

This year, in an effort to encourage as wide an audience as possible, the Drupal Association of Ireland rebranded Drupal Camp Dublin as Drupal Open Days Ireland. We wanted to give a sense that it was a multi-day event, an event for the whole of Ireland, and that, true to the open source philosophy, it was open to all. Judging by the number of people and energy present, we think this was a good move. 

As part of our efforts to enhance our Drupal 8 knowledge, we have been running an internal competition called #D8in8 (don't worry, you didn't miss it on Twitter; it wasn't trending). Basically, each Annertechie had eight weeks to “do something” with Drupal 8 – port a module, build a theme, migrate a database, anything. After 4 weeks we all previewed our work in an internal Q&A session and tried to help break any blockers anyone had. Then, on Monday (23rd June) we premiered our “finished” products.

Drupal Dev Days this year found its way back to the location of Drupalcon 2008 - Szeged, Hungary. A particularly picturesque city, Szeged made a wonderful location for a great conference, and Annertech was there to enjoy it all.

Annertech is Ireland's leading Drupal development company. We have built many, many large websites for charities and non-profits. This is an area that we understand intimately and are ready to use our accumulated knowledge to ensure that your organisation grows to become (or remain) the great oak that it deserves to be.

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

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.

Drupal Developer Days Dublin continues! Day 5 of the event saw even more people arriving and the start of the event "proper", with 2 workshops and our new "Job Speed Dating" event.
