Meet and Greet with Dries Buytaert

Itomic together with Previous Next sponsored an informal meet and greet with the creator of Drupal, Dries Buytaert on Monday night.

For those who missed Drupal Down Under, or those who just can’t get enough; this was a chance to meet Dries in a more intimate setting.

Itomic’s Nick Santamaria was one of nearly 40 Drupal developers who enjoyed the opportunity to personally exchange ideas with Dries. The two spoke briefly about the Drupal Down Under Conference before moving on to more serious topics: the powder conditions in Vermont last week.

Dries made an effort to chat with everyone and was nothing but complementary about Australia; which he described as a blend of the best of Europe and the States. He even joked that he might just stay.

From Itomic to Dries: you’re welcome back anytime.

A big thank you to Brian Gilbert of Realityloop for arranging the logistics of the evening.
