Cocomore's Christian Lopez (Penyaskito) Represents Drupal at EBE13 Round Table Debate

Christian Lopez (Penyaskito) representing Drupal in the EBE13 CMS round table.

Penyaskito, aka Christian Lopez, Drupal developer at CocomoreThis past weekend was a busy one for some of our developers who attended EBE13, a major Spanish conference for digital marketing, blogging, social media, and online communication, held annually in Seville, not far from our Cocomore in Spain, which drew over 1000 developers this year. Christian Lopez (aka Penyaskito on Drupal.org and Twitter), participated as an expert panelist representing Drupal in a "round table" moderated debate, lending much credibility to our favorite popular open-source CMS and Web application framework. He spoke about typical use cases for Drupal, as well as some unusual places he has seen Drupal in action, such as in a POS system in McDonalds, among other odd uses. He was joined by Isidro Baquero, representing Joomla, and Rafael Poveda, representing Wordpress. The debate was moderated by Agile trainer and coach, Jeronimo Palacios.

What they learned was that, in the end, everyone who actively contributes to open-source is a winner, regardless of the technology! The benefits of being a part of a great open-source community turned out to be the most compelling reason for using each of these projects. Of course there are other strong reasons we, at Cocomore, favor Drupal, but involvement with a greater development community is a good way to become an expert in the CMS you use. So if you work with Drupal (or Wordpress or Joomla or any other open-source CMS), finding ways to contribute will help you grow as well as improving the code base that you use.
