First day of my second Drupal­Con

That feeling! Walkin’ through the square in front of Amsterdam RAI, the venue of this year’s DrupalCon (Europe). I was getting closer to the entrance by every step and to know that I’m part of a good thing! It was my morning treat today.

I do not want to be pathetic, but it is excellent.

While our CEO, @Kulcsi attended the business summit, we (@juhasz, @csakiistvan, and me) joined to the sprints. I seated in the front-end group, as I used to do in other Drupal events.

Postponed

The first result of my sprinting was an issue I had to write in a postponed state by default. It is about using "H1 tag" instead of "H2" as nodes’ title at /node – a thing I planned to tackle with for a while. It is possible in HTML5, but it has not been implemented by web browsers yet.

So it was a little bit frustrating, but this is new knowledge too. And as Emma said, “every issue helps push things forward.”

Later I created an issue about removing some id tags from Seven theme and worked on another one I got from @lewisnyman.

Get that swag!

The Exhibit Hall opened around 17.00, and I was amazed by the number of exhibitors. So many companies provide Drupal related services! Not all the booths were in their full glory yet, but even so, I easily spent 1,5 hours there talking with people (it so easy to start to speak with someone here!) and getting a lot of T-shirts and other swag. (A lot! Really.)

A busy day

…is coming on Tuesday. Now I’m a mentor, so there are things to learn about and then help others. (To tell the truth, I always aim to do so, but it is not an unusual thing: others do the same thing at sprints. It is our Drupal community!)

I also plan to attend sessions (e.g., Dries’ keynote, of course), check the front-end issue queue, and hang out in the evening. See you! ☺
