Drupal

From 3 to 5 May the Drupal business days were held in Vienna. On the first day there was a CXO event. You can read a summary of that in a previous blog post. In this post I will give a summary of the sessions on 4 and 5 May.

Last Thursday there was another Drupal CXO event. It was the first day of the Drupal business days in Vienna. Microsoft was the host for the event and the first item on the program was a tour of the their office in Vienna. I have to say it was a pretty cool place with plants on the walls and as main asset a slide!

This weekend the first Frontendunited conference was organized in Amsterdam. This conference is the successor of Drupal Design camp. It was a great weekend with lots of interesting presentations on a wide range of subjects. 

This weekend there was another Drupal CxO meeting in Amsterdam. After the big success of the first meeting in Brussels this was the second event of this type in Europe. This time with a focus on development, business and quality assurance processes in Drupal shops.

Op donderdag 19 januari zal Triquanta samen met Hoppinger weer een tech talk over Drupal organiseren in Rotterdam. Dit evenement is bedoeld voor developers die dieper in Drupal willen duiken. De sessies zullen technisch van aard zijn en gericht op code.

Er zullen weer 2 sessies gehouden worden, deze keer over security en ctools.

And you do not want to worry about someone accidentally removing the menu block from your site. Well, here is a snippet to add a custom made menu to your page.tpl.php.

Though a lot of the Drupal community is using Git, I don't think everyone knows the tools I want to write about in this post. I can tell you, I cannot live without theme anymore:

• Git flow
• Git completion
• Bash prompt with Git information

Triquanta is uiteraard van de partij op de DrupalJam 2011 die op 20 juni 2011 zal plaatsvinden in het gebouw van Beeld en Geluid in Hilversum. Dit jaar is Triquanta zilver sponsor van dit grootste Drupal evenement in Nederland. Wij dragen de Drupal community een warm hart toe en willen met deze sponsoring hieraan een bijdrage leveren.

Now that Drupal 7 is released we can look forward to Drupal 8. What can we do better? What features do we need for Drupal 8? This was the main topic of the keynote of Dries Buytaert at Drupalcon Chicago on March 8th.

Drupal 8 should be ready for the future of course, and the future according to Dries is:
