I can’t remember the last time I went to a meetup using public transportation. The reasons this became possible is location. The location of today’s Docker meetup is reachable using a direct bus from my home, which is a very very rare thing to happen to me. Even though I traveled by bus through one of the Bangalore’s busiest streets, I reached only 10 minutes late, which is good considering that I only realized very late that this meetup began at 9:30 AM!
With the intention to stay ahead of the awful Saturday traffic in Bangalore, I reached quite early for the second open source Bangalore meetup.
The Docker meetup #21 started with Neependra giving an account of DockerCon 2016 held in Seattle. This was followed by an introduction to Docker 1.12 by Ajeet Singh Raina which focused on orchestration.
Things have gotten busy after DrupalCon Asia which meant that the Drupal meetup we hold in Bangalore every month was a little difficult to organize. Srijan Technologies stepped up and offered their office space in Whitefield, Bangalore. They also took care of snacks and even lunch for all the attendees. Kudos to Srijan for organizing the meetup. Thank you!
The meetup started with DigitalOcean’s India representative introducing us to the company and their plans for India. They gave out stickers and T-Shirts and spoke about how DigitalOcean is opening a data center in Bangalore.
It seems strange but there were no github meetups in India until today. At least that is what people are telling me. Tesco organized a github meetup in Bangalore at Marriott Whitefield and it was a huge success. There were 500 RSVP’s and the hall filled up. It was also at an unusual time compared to other meetups. The conference started at 5:30 PM and was scheduled to go on until 11 PM (with dinner).
This year’s Drupal Global Sprint Weekend 2016 was held on January 30th and 31st throughout the world. We conduct a Drupal meetup every last Saturday in a month in Bangalore and this time, we just organized the sprint instead.
As taglines go, I know this is heavily cliched but it happens to be true to every letter. I can’t think of any better way to describe the overall Drupal ecosystem as “Come for the code, stay for the community.”
The Drupal 8 Release party was an overall success with the support of 91SpringBoard, our coworking partners, and Axelerant, our sponsors for the event.
Why so much noise over Drupal 8?! Here are some of my reasons why I am over the moon about Drupal 8 release.
