Join the new Brussels Drupal meetup group:

http://www.meetup.com/Brussels-Drupal-Meetup

The first meetup will take place soon when a suitable location and date are found.

See you in Brussels!

DrupalCon Prague is a little way off yet but I'm already getting excited about it. I've been looking into the feasibility of travelling there by train from London. Here are the logistics for travelling from the UK via Cologne in Germany http://seat61.com/Czech.htm#Prague.

It sounds like a fun adventure to me! I wondered if anyone else was thinking about doing something similar. Perhaps we could hold DrupalCon's first international train sprint and call it "Drupal On Rails"?

Give me a shout if you want to shun Ryanair and doing some collaborative overland travel planning.

Fosdem launched its call for developer rooms for Fosdem 2013 (taking place 2 & 3 februari 2011 in Brussels).

The deadline for the proposal will be October 1, 2012.

I shall post a draft for our application below in the comments.

Should we apply for a dev room at the 2012 edition of Fosdem?

The deadline for application is next Thursday Oct 26.

Hi all,

Hope you're all well! Anyone from this group going to DrupalDevDays Brussels?
Would be good to meet and have an informal panel / chat about "Drupal for Good", just like in DC Paris.

Best,
Nuno

Registration for the Drupal Developer Days Brussels is open since a few days. This free-as-in-beer event takes place from Friday February 4 until Sunday February 6 in parallel with Fosdem, Europe's largest open source developers meeting.

On Friday there is a codesprint at a soon to be announced location. On Saturday

We are looking for motivated volunteers that can help organizing the Drupal Developer Days Brussels that take place February 4 - 6, 2011. http://bxl2011.drupaldays.org . This is a free event which aims at fostering the Drupal software and its community.

The current organizing team consist of a small band of talented volunteers, but to make this event shine we need help from much more people.

Volunteers with all kind of profiles are welcome. Currently we are looking for people that can help by:

• Getting sessions on video
• Writing copy for the website

Fosdem launched its call for developer rooms for Fosdem 2011 (taking place 5 & 6 februari 2011 in Brussels).

As last year, the Fodem organizers prefer that the room will not be exclusively about one opensource project (e.g. "drupal") but about one topic (e.g. "CMS")

The deadline for the proposal will be October 166, 2010.

Will we be organizing a Drupal-room in February?

Last Saturday August 1, members of the Hackerspace Brussels gathered to build a job database for the NGO Zuiddag.

All this import/export malarky is actually part of a problem I identified many years ago, while writing FAPI.

FAPI in it's current state was always meant to be the first phase in a much larger project to fix a lot of the inherent design problems we have been bumping heads against now.

If the code looks 'non-drupal like' to you, keep in mind when this presentation was done, FAPI itself was new, and such sweeping changes still had an opportunity of being taken seriously. Unfortunately I suffered from burnout shortly afterwards, and extracted myself from doing serious core development.
