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.

You built a website waaaaay back. It's still okay. Actually, it looks good. Quite good. (But not great.)

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.

Transparency – everybody is talking about it at the moment. Transparency in government (allowing citizens access to what decisions were made and how those decisions came about), transparency in the non-profit sector (allowing donors to know where their money is being spent), transparency in computer software (allowing users to know what code is being installed on a machine/website).

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.

We've just learnt that the website we built for Oxfam Ireland last year has been nominated in the upcoming Eircom Golden Spiders awards. They're shortlisted in the "Best Social Entrepreneur, Charitable & Non-Profit Organisation". Both myself and Alan will be accompanying Oxfam on the night.

I hope you'll join me in wishing Oxfam Ireland every success in bringing home the award.  

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.

And the sprinting continues! Each day more and more people are arriving and again the sprints are continuing on into the early hours of the morning.

Drupal Developer Days Dublin is really under way now, with more and more sprinters arriving every day. There's a really fantastic buzz around the place.
