Schedule

DrupalCamp Derry is split over two days. On Saturday 22nd October 2011, we are going to deliver structured training, problem solving and question and answer sessions for those starting out with Drupal. For developers we are providing a range of talks on key business and technical issues by Drupal experts.

On Sunday 23rd October 2011, we are going to take stock and plan next steps for the further development of the Drupal community in Ireland. This will be followed by a developer led session outlining the rationale behind the IA and design of the new Drupal.ie site. The afternoon will consist of a practical collaborative workshop in which the Drupal Ireland association’s website will be built. This will have the added advantage of allowing beginners to see how a website is built while utilising the strength of the local Drupal community to create the website.
