Drupalcon London

So here we are, just a few days to the biggest Drupal event in Europe this year, Drupalcon London 2011. Having been to the last 4 Drupalcons, this is a particularly important one for Consult and Design for a number of reasons:

  1. We're very proud to be sponsoring Drupalcon this year
  2. Our own Adam Hill is playing an important role as Volunteer Co-ordinator
  3. It's the first Drupalcon since we founded Drupal North East
  4. Its the biggest European Drupalcon ever, almost doubling in size since Copenhagen last year

As you can imagine its a busy time and we're all really happy to be so involved in this event, its going to be the best yet and we're looking forward to sharing all the goings on when we return.

The State of CiviCRM 2011 - CiviCon London

CiviCon 2011

Dave Greenburg and Donald Lobo gave an insight into the current state of CiviCRM, I've tried to summarise.

Community involvement has grown significantly in the last year. Downloads have grown significantly and our professional services listings now has over 60 organisations providing civicrm services. The forum now has 15,000 and averages about 50 posts per day of which 6 of those most active are not part of the core team. Another great result is that there are many more patches being submitted meaning that more and more developers are contributing to the development of CiviCRM.
