Our Gift to the Drupal Community

Dec 19, 2016

I’ve been Drupaling for about 8 years and this was my first camp. I really enjoyed the sessions and learning from others. -2016 Attendee

Now that most of us have completed our holiday shopping, we would like to provide the gift of Drupal to the Atlanta and the world — wide Drupal community!

This year’s DrupalCamp Atlanta centered around Drupal 8 and the importance of giving back to open source projects. After the inspiring keynote, “Creating a Culture of Giving for Your Organization” by Mediacurrent’s Dave Terry and Paul Chason, it is our hope that more organizations and individuals make an intentional effort to give back. If you are interested in helping shape the Atlanta Drupal community, feel free to contact us.

DrupalCamp Atlanta 2016 session videos are now live at www.drupalcampatlanta.com. Thanks to Utzu Logigan and his Recall Act team for creating the best session videos on the planet once again.

This year’s training schedule was provided two great sessions: The Absolute Beginner’s Guide to Drupal 8 sponsored by OSTraining and Drupal 8 Theming and Templating by Evolving Web. Without people dedicated to spreading their advanced knowledge, we wouldn’t be able to provide this to you! Thank you OSTraining and Evolving Web!

We also want to thank our sponsors for the time and financial support of this camp, as we can’t make events like this work without them. Special thanks to Mediacurrent and Sevaa group for their help with the Keynote, Afterparty, and general assistance in making DCA a great event! We also had SiteGround, Pantheon, 3Ci, Lingotek, and Acquia as sponsors who we also want to thank for coming from so far to be a part of our event!

Additionally, the Drupal Association made it out to our event, promoting the good word of Drupal. Please donate, as we all benefit from a strong nationwide community. You can join the Drupal Association here.

Last but not least we would like to thank all of the session speakers. Without the willingness to give back to the community, camps like this could not be possible. Their efforts can go unnoticed to so many, and we want to make sure that we acknowledge them here:

Kelly Albrecht, Ed Allison, Kirsten Burgard, Paul Chason, Suzanne Dergacheva, Jitesh Doshi, Dan Hansen, Zack Hawkins, Jimmy Kriigel, Ishan Mahajan, Tom McCracken, Paul McKibben, Todd Nienkerk, Lisa Ridley, Scott Sawyer, Scot Self, Mark Shropshire, Jim Smith, Dave Terry, David Thompson, Cheyenne Throckmorton, Jason Want, Bull Weber.

Happy Holidays from the Atlanta Drupal Users Group to all of the 2016 DrupalCamp Atlanta presenters and attendees.
