Drupal Con Asia
DrupalCons are always vibrant & flagship initiative of Drupal Community. A chance to meet our mentors, maintainers of our favorite modules, core developer who commit our patches, system admins who keep drupal.org running smoothly and many such key stakeholders of Drupal under a single roof. DrupalCon Asia - February 2016, was a much awaited and very first DrupalCon in India.
Unimity Solutions sponsored, contributed and participated in DrupalCon Asia held in February 2016 in Mumbai. It’s a fascinating experience to all of us, who attended DrupalCon Asia to meet Dries and Drupalists from all over the world to learn & cherish Drupal 8. Key Highlights for Unimity in DrupalCon Asia:
- It was the first DrupalCon for 3 of our developers.
- Participated in Sprint Contributions.
- Presentation by Shyamala Rajaram on “Drupal & You - Give, Learn, Connect, get recognized, start contributing today!”
