Dries, for one, said that he believes that algorithms behind technology that can have an immense influence on people’s lives, like DNA tests or Google ads, should definitely be out in the open. The speakers started off by sharing the good (more accessibility to events and education for people who can’t travel) and the bad (endless Zoom meetings) things that have happened since the world became more digital due to the pandemic and then quickly moved on to a much more pressing subject of transparency on the web. The first session we recommend you to check out is a panel discussion about all things open source between Dries Buytaert, WordPress Core Contributor and Google Developer Relations Engineer Adam Silverstein, and GitLab VP of Quality Mek Stittri. Keynote: What is Open Source's role in the well-being of the internet? Accelerating Drupal Commerce adoption through a new Commerce Kickstart 1. Building a GraphQL API - beyond the basicsĥ.
Keynote: What is Open Source's role in the well-being of the internet?Ĥ. And if you did come, we hope you’ll enjoy revisiting some of DrupalCon’s choicest presentations.ġ. If you didn’t get the chance to come to DrupalCon Portland this year, we hope that our list will help you feel like you were still part of the event. No one could visit them all, but we did visit a fair few and want to offer you our list of the five best sessions. Ukraine, naturally, was another major topic on everyone’s lips, and we, as Ukrainians, couldn’t be more grateful for all the words of support we received, including those from Dries Buytaert, Drupal Founder and Acquia CTO - but more on that later.ĭrupalCon Portland, like any other DrupalCon, had a lot of great sessions to choose from, some more technical, some less. But there’s hope (shameless plug alert): you can always work with a Drupal development partner like ourselves to close your talent gaps. Their local pools of Drupal developers dried out quickly, and that also drove candidates’ salary expectations through the roof. Most agency owners we talked to saw a major influx of clients during covid, which, as fantastic as that is, had caused them to struggle to hire enough employees and keep up with the demand. The pandemic may have caused the event’s usual crowd to shrink, but the number of sponsors remained about the same, which means that Drupal agencies were as ready as ever to continue supporting the Drupal community. Even though this is just half of the event’s usual attendance (covid is still to blame), we were beyond excited to finally see our friends and partners in person. On April 25–28, 1,300 Drupalists came together in Portland, Oregon for the first in-person DrupalCon in more than two years.
