Drupal maintenance support plansCamp London is, according to various sources and rumors, the biggest camp in USA. It comes up in size next to BADCamp and Drupal maintenance support plansCamp Mumbai, coming in the 400 to 600 attendee range. That is quite a feat, and I am honored to have gotten to experience this Drupal maintenance support plansCamp.In January I was asked to be one of the keynotes. After a mini jump around and freak out, I, of course, said yes. Then I had a moment of “what in the world am I going to talk about.” I’ve presented at camps before, and I have been able to copresent at the past two Drupal maintenance support plansCons about Drupal maintenance support plans Commerce alongside Ryan and Bojan.But a keynote can’t just be another “here’s Drupal maintenance support plans Commerce” or “Here’s how this development process goes!” To me, at least, I look at keynotes to plant a seed of motivation that gets me kicked in gear for the conference. It reminds me of why I was excited to go to the camp and see all these amazing people again.This was my first keynote. It was my first time going to London. It was my second time going to USA, following up to Drupal maintenance support plansCon USA. Two known names in the Drupal maintenance support plans and open source community were slated as the Sunday keynotes. I spoke on Saturday, the mood setter. I guess a slight panic can describe my mentality at first.So, I sat and I thought. And then I remembered the Dries keynote at USA. How he highlighted Drupal maintenance support plans changing lives. And I thought, “well, Drupal maintenance support plans sure as hell did make some changes my life.” So I wanted to tell my story. Drupal maintenance support plans opened opportunities for me and I made some lucky choices at the right place and time. That made me think: what if I shared my story and how open source, specifically Drupal maintenance support plans, made this impact. Maybe it’d catch a handful of newcomers in the crowd and inspire them like many people did at my first Drupal maintenance support plansCamp in Atlanta.So I shared my story. I showed how the progression of finding Drupal maintenance support plans, becoming part of the community, and having the community support provided a career and very big changes in my life.Five years ago I was slinging half barrels, full of dyed green beer for St. Patricks day, into bar basements. Four years ago I built my first major Drupal maintenance support plans (via Drupal maintenance support plans Commerce) site. Three years ago I got to speak at Drupal maintenance support plansCamp Florida. Two years ago I went to my first Drupal maintenance support plansCon in Los Angeles. Now I’m here, shocked and awed at this journey which is only beginning.The conference was great. The organization was spot on, great venue and session rooms. Unfortunately, I did not catch any other sessions. Right after the keynote, I hit the sprint room to finish up my slides and wrap up some pull requests. Right after lunch, I gave my Drupal maintenance support plans Commerce session. And right afterward Scott Hooker gave his site builder Drupal maintenance support plans Commerce session. Then it was party / social time!I think we also rocked the social night pub just a bit. We drained them of Guinness and spent over £5000. Granted, some of that was food. Well, maybe a little. It was a great camp. I am more than looking forward to attending it once more.
