DrupalSouth Community Day 2023

DrupalSouth Community Day will be a single day event focussing on Drupal use across the community (private and public sector, of any distribution).

This event has recently been promoted as DrupalGov Dev Day, and DrupalGov Community Day.

The event will be held at the Canberra Rex Hotel on Thursday 23 November 2023.

The day will begin with a Welcome and Introduction to the day, followed by one morning session across four tracks. There is then an hour for a catered lunch and catching up with colleagues. We’ll have a second afternoon session across four new topics. The day will conclude with an networking event held at the venue from 2.30pm-4.30pm.

The sessions are practical hands-on workshops, led by peers and mentors from within the DrupalSouth Community. Each session will have four tracks, or breakout groups, each dealing with a different topic or issue raised by the community in feedback prior to the event.

The sessions begin with a brief round of introductions from the participants, then a 20-30 minute presentation/discussion from the Session Lead. Participants will work through practical tasks to explore the issue further and look at ways to resolve or progress. When the Session descriptions are posted there’ll be more guidance on then topics and tasks to be tackled, and requirements – for example if laptop is advised for a coding exercise or contribution, or if there’ll be a worksheet handed out to be completed.

DrupalSouth will be asking for Volunteers from the Community to Lead and facilitate the sessions, and collaborating to design sessions and practical work. This is an opportunity for us all to work together to directly meet the needs of the community. We want to hear what you need to do.

The day will be a success when we start conversations across teams and between organisations, and start working together to solve common issues. We have a wealth of experience and knowledge to share.

Questions and feedback can be sent to chair@drupalsouth.org
