It’s with heavy hearts that we are announcing there won’t be a DrupalCamp
|
||
Bristol 2018. The committee have looked at the amount of work required to put
|
||
the camp on and the capacity we all have and the two numbers are irreconcilable.
|
||
|
||
Seeing Drupalists from all over the country and from overseas come to Bristol to
|
||
share knowledge and ideas is something we take pride in. The past three camps
|
||
have been fantastic, but as a trend we have left it later and later to organise.
|
||
|
||
This year is the latest we have left to organise and we believe this is because
|
||
we are all a bit fatigued right now, so it seems like a good place to stop and
|
||
take stock.
|
||
|
||
In our washup of last year’s camp we spoke a lot about what DrupalCamp is and
|
||
who it is for. Traditionally we have tried to get a good mix of speakers from
|
||
within the Drupal community and from the wider tech community. This does mean we
|
||
dilute the ‘Drupal’ aspect of the camp, but the benefits it brings in terms of
|
||
bringing together different views gives the camp greater value in our eyes.
|
||
|
||
It’s because of this mix of talks and wider shifts in the community in ‘getting
|
||
us off the island’ that we have been thinking about rebranding to reflect the
|
||
mix of talks that the camp hosts. The fact is DrupalCamps don’t just cover
|
||
Drupal anymore. There is Symfony, Composer, OOP principles, React, etc.
|
||
|
||
We’ll take the gap this year to reevaluate who DrupalCamp Bristol is for and
|
||
where it fits into the schedule of excellent tech events that take place in
|
||
Bristol through the year, and we look forward to seeing you in 2019, refreshed
|
||
and more enthusiastic than ever!
