News: Katie's Adventures At Drupal Camp

08/11/2010

This past weekend, I was lucky enough to take a trip to sunny California for the 4th annual DrupalCamp LA. I came from the 2nd farthest distance away, second only to an attendee from Moscow.

I was joined by close to 400 other Drupal enthusiasts for what was a fun, challenging, and ultimately rewarding trip.

In case you weren't able to make it, I'm happy to share a few things I picked up:

  • Advanced Views and Views Modules
  • How to maintain your Drupal site on a regular basis
  • Helpful modules we weren't already using
  • The Panels Everywhere module
  • Publishing Events with CCK and the Features Module

I was also able to speak with a plethora of 'Drupal heads' (like myself) about their hopes, their dreams, and their biggest Drupal challenges. 

Overall a great experience with a lot of knowledge shared and gained..and of course, I did make my way to the beach once....or twice.. :)
