Leaving for Drupalcon

by Jonathan Hedstrom

Drupalcon SzegedTomorrow I fly to Budapest by way of Frankfurt as I start making my way towards Drupalcon in Szeged. Brian will be joining me in Szeged closer to the start of the conference. I'll have several days to take in the sites of Budapest (the funicular railway to Buda Castle looks awesome), then catch a train south to Szeged. I'm looking forward to meeting so many Drupal people all in one place, and the sessions are looking fantastic.

I'm particularly excited about the Awesome Testing Party, not only due to the free pancakes, but also, writing tests is a whole lot of fun, and they're critical for a solid Drupal core, and a more feature-rich development cycle.  It also looks like there should be several excellent sessions on the state of GIS, mapping and Drupal (A Roadmap for Mapping: GIS on Drupal in 2008 and Beyond, Simple Mapping Mashups with Drupal, and Mapping with Drupal and Mapnik just to name a few). And of course, no Drupal gathering would be complete without a session about Awesomeness and Drupal.

I'll be posting updates frequently from Drupalcon. Also, if you'll be in Budapest prior to Drupalcon and are interested in any pre-Drupalcon activities, drop me a comment here, or contact me directly.
