This morning was the first official one of Drupalcon Chicago which meant a big keynote with everyone in attendance. Today Dries was speaking. He being the “leader” of Drupal or rather the original creator.

He is a really neat guy to listen to, I for one can’t believe he is not overwhelmed with everything. He talked about how far Drupal has come and where it is going. Drupal 7 was just released about a month ago, which means Drupal 8 development is now commencing. Really interesting stuff to see how this community is.

What I thought was interesting, is when Dries said if he were to build Drupal again today it would be based around mobile. Obviously we’re moving to mobile, but do you think will eventually ditch a full computer?

This is Jam, I think he works for Acquia. Jam also place a big horn. I don’t know my instruments so bare with me.

See there is Jam over on the left blowing away…

Finally it is Dries talking Drupal, his baby.

What do we think?
