DrupalCon Is Going to Be Awesome!

DrupalCon London is approaching fast! It's the event all Drupal geeks are waiting for twice a year (one in north America and one in Europe).

I'm so looking forward to it, for many different reasons:

1. I get to meet my wonderful girlfriend again! :) It's been a month now since I moved to Qatar...
2. I'm doing a presentation with Kat Bailey on Content Staging and Deployments in Drupal 7
3. I'm doing another presentation with chx and Letharion about the new Relation module.
4. I want to attend most of the Drupal 8 core conversation and talk about the different initiatives that I recently got more involved in. Read more below :)
5. I will be able to meet Yuriy, who has made some big contributions to the Deploy module I'm working on. He is awesome!
6. I will announce a small project I've been working on, quietly for a while. It's about Drupal and effective hosting in the cloud. I'll come back with more on that later :)
7. And of course, I will meet the NodeOne guys and all the other cool and awesome Drupal people in the community!

And about the Drupal 8 initiatives... Heyrocker asked me the other day if I wanted to be more involved in the UUID part of the Configuration Management Initiative to help drive that a little bit. Of course I'm up for that challenge since I've been doing quite some work on UUID lately, for the new Drupal 7 version of Deploy. So the game plan regarding that is to get together with some other involved people and start coding on it! :) Hopefully we will have something coming up before DrupalCon on that!

Simply, it's going to be awesome!
