DrupalJam3 to take place October 31st. Belgium and The Netherlands: take note and propose a talk.

The third edition of DrupalJam will take place on October 31st 2008 in Breda, The Netherlands. This free, cozy, fuzzy event keeps growing and its format keeps getting better and better.

Dutch is one of the official languages in Belgium and the official language in The Netherlands. Though the Dutch speaking Drupal Community could have been strictly separated into a community in Belgium and one in The Netherlands, we’re really one big happy family…

... and DrupalJam is the important event that brings us all together, several times a year.

Kuala Lumpur Drupal community kicking off

A little over a month ago a cool Drupal project brought me to Kuala Lumpur. I set out to organize a DrupalCamp while I was there but the Malaysian Drupal community was not really showing any signs of life.

Najibx, the single Drupal developer that did actually respond, agreed we would downscale it to a Drupal track at BarcampMalaysia.

DrupalCampParis 3 coming up October 4th, 2008

Here’s one of the better excuses to head to France in a couple of weeks: DrupalCampParis 3.

If you were there last time, you know you don’t want to miss it for the world.

Paris Meetup verdict: something tasty's cooking...

The Paris Drupal meetup yesterday was a hit again, with twice the expected number of people showing up. Even a couple of tourists like Bonnie Bogle, Eric Gundersen and Kevin Walsh dropped by.

No such thing as a ‘local community’ anymore. Interesting.

Reminder: Drupal meetup in Paris tonight

Don’t forget to drop by the Paris Drupal Meetup tonight, if you’re in the neighbourhood.

Drupal + Beer @ Le Hall 1900 (64, Rue Rambuteau) starting 19:30.

See you there!

Free Drupal training at FrOSCon2008 and some cake too

From Brussels to Drupalcon Szeged in 450 Euros

Haven’t decided yet whether or not you’ll head over to Hungary for the upcoming Drupalcon in Szeged ?

In two weeks over 500 people will come together in for this fall’s most important event in the Drupal community. We checked out low cost carriers and calculated that from Brussels you can already attend Drupalcon including participation fee, travel and accommodation expenses (at one of the hostels) from 450 EUR!

How we merged BarCampMalaysia and DrupalCampKualaLumpur

When I started probing the Malaysian Drupal community a while back about the viability of organizing a DrupalCamp in Kuala Lumpur in July, many people were enthusiastic but not so many were able to find the time or energy to pitch in.

I still felt like going ahead – the challenge of remotely getting an event up and running was just too much fun to let go.

BarCampMalaysia with a little bit of DrupalCamp thrown in

BarCampMalaysia is coming up real soon now, with little under 3 weeks to go. The two-day event will take place on July 26 and 27 in Kuala Lumpur, capital of one of the technologically most rapidly evolving regions in the world.
