The State of Drupal

Tuesday, August 24th

Dries Buytaert, Drupal Project Lead

Dries Buytaert will discuss where Drupal is and where it is going. In particular, he’ll discuss the final preparations for the release of Drupal 7, the Drupal.org redesign, and the plans for Drupal 8.

On August 23rd, the day before the main conference kicks off, you'll be able to attend training sessions facilitated by leading Drupal experts. The trainings will take place at the main conference venue.

The training sessions will cover:

• Performance and Scalability
• E-commerce & Übercart

A couple of days ago, we announced the track chairs and published the final descriptions of the six tracks at DrupalCon Copenhagen.

To make sure that everyone has had a chance to submit a session targeted at a specific track, we have decided to move the session deadline back a week. The revised schedule is as follows:

• The final deadline for session submissions is July 4th.
• Voting will take place from July 5th until July 11th.
• The initial schedule will be published on July 18th.

We are still working away to make DrupalCon Copenhagen as awesome as possible, but we wanted to take some time to give you an update on what we have been working on lately.

We are very happy to announce that the DrupalCon Copenhagen site will feature blog posts from Addison Berry (add1sun) — Lullabot, DrupalNinja and Drupal documentation lead.

Addison is spending the summer in Copenhagen and she will provide an interesting perspective on Copenhagen and Denmark from an outsider's point of view.

She has already made four posts. The first one Copenhagen journal begins corrects typical misunderstandings about Denmark.

Act now if you want to get your DrupalCon Copenhagen ticket at the current price of €249. On June 28th at 8am CEST the ticket price will go up to €279.

We received 59 scholarship applications and now our independent jury, consisting of Robert Douglass, Károly Négyesi, and Addison Berry, will review them.

A total of twenty scholarships will be awarded to people who have shown their commitment to Drupal and the community, and who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference.

Scholars either receive a basic scholarship, which is just a conference ticket, or an extensive scholarship which covers the ticket price as well as either part or all of the travel and accommodation costs.
