![]() Squishy Media had to send the final ladies home around 11 pm. Women started piling in right around 6pm, and continued throughout the night. Despite the torrential downpour we had an amazing turn out. The other highlight of the week for me was the "Women in Drupal Meet & Greet Reception" on Tuesday night hosted by Aten Design Group and Squishy Media at the Squishy Media offices. We had great feedback from that session and more questions than we had time to answer. However, I ran the "Making Drupal Meetups and Events Rock" session with an amazing panel of Drupal contributors. ![]() I didn't make it to too many sessions this time around. It was fun to be able to greet people, talk about the awesomeness of Aten, and hand out scout books. That was an interesting perspective to the conference from the get go. What an amazing week! Though this was my 5th DrupalCon, it was also my first opportunity to actually be part of a company that had a booth. One of her tips, " Have the hard conversations," I unfortunately had an opportunity to apply while still at DrupalCon, in some hard conversations I might have let pass without Ashe's well-designed slides fresh in my mind. Instead, she explained the complexity of the problem and gave us some practical approaches to helping solve it. I'm sure I wasn't the only audience member hoping Ashe would give us a silver bullet for diversity problems in our industry. My favorite part of DrupalCon was probably Ashe Dryden's "Programming Diversity" session. ![]() I think we all appreciated being able to thank Aaron for the years he spent contributing to the Drupal Community and to give a token of our appreciation back to him and his family. A couple rooms full of people were able to enjoy some food and drink, and talk with Aaron and his family via Google Hangout. It was good to see so many people turn out for the "Drupal DoGooders Happy Hour" that went to benefit Aaron Winborn. They're now full projects on and we're planning on having a release for each in the coming weeks. Jen Lampton has done a fantastic job leading the initiative and it was great to see so many people working on Twig at the code sprints on Friday.įinally, John, Garrett and I spent a lot of time discussing the future of Center and Prototype, the base and starter themes Aten uses internally to kickstart projects. This change will be one of the greatest boons to front-end development for Drupal in years. I'm extremely excited that Twig is going to make it into Drupal 8. Jared Ponchot's talk, "Designing on Purpose: Design Process & Deliverables in the Responsive Age", dove into the UX side of designing for a responsive web while Sam Richards and Mason Wendell gave front-end developers lots to think about in their session "Managing Responsive Web Design with Sass and Breakpoint". ![]() Responsive web design has had a huge impact on how we design and develop websites. KenĪ recurring theme that surfaced in a number of sessions was that of changing processes. ![]() As always, there were plenty of incredible sessions, so many people to catch up with, and no shortage of after-parties. Our team was privileged to be sponsors, speakers, and co-organizers for the event. With more that 3,300 registrations, this was the largest DrupalCon yet. Last week 9 of us from Aten attended DrupalCon Portland, 2013. ![]()
