As you can imagine, it's a beehive of activity here at Gotham City Drupal, as we prepare for DrupalCon 2012 in Denver, which starts this weekend. One thing I had put off for too long was getting a new round of business cards printed, and so you can imagine my dismay when I realized I had three (3!) days to go before I left and had "forgotten" to get them done.
Fortunately, one of our beloved clients, Jason Kessler of Tussle, came to the rescue, with a local (NYC) recommendation:
Paper Slam, Inc. 531 East 13th Street (ground floor (btwn Ave. A & B) New York, NY 10009 212-979-8766
Gotham City Drupal is a growing, quality-focused and progressive development company, and we're looking for an experienced, community-engaged, like-minded themer who specializes in Responsive/Omega custom themeing. We're a fun group of senior-level Drupal freelancers, with profit-sharing, organized community contribution and big plans for the future.
This DrupalCon is really awesome in many respects. One thing that's a little hard to take is some of the "slicker" aspects. For instance, I absolutely HATED the super-slick keynote feel-good slideshows - and I hated the MUSIC even more I do really like the Expo in general, because I really enjoy meeting folks who are collectively doing great stuff with Drupal. My favorite booth by far was the Workhabit booth. On Tuesday it was pretty much similar to everyone else's booth.
I'm going to be posting videos and comments from DrupalCon Chicago, hopefully as close to real-time as possible. Please stay tuned for more!
Session: Core Conversation: Why our approach to the deployment problem is all wrong
There was a lot of discussion about getting rid of hook_node_load, and an excellent point about the need for a batching system that will allow a way to manage those processes that take longer than a user's normal "one-click" expectation.
