Lullabot Going to Drupal Design Camp In Boston This Weekend
Blog by Jeff RobbinsJune 11, 2009 - 10:17am
On Saturday, following this week's Drupal theming workshop in Providence, we'll be driving the 40 miles up route-95 to Drupal Design Camp Boston. We're sponsoring the event and I will be keynoting on Saturday with a talk about "Why Drupal Is Like Drupal Is", giving a designer-centric look at both the benefits of using Drupal trying to justify the difficulties.
The event is free and we're encouraging our workshop attendees to make the trip as well. Whether you're a web designer interested in learning about Drupal or you've already drank the Kool-Aid and just want to spend more time talking about things like CSS, semantic markup, grid systems, complimentary colors, and why there's no Drupal plugin for Dreamweaver, this is the event for you!

Designers - the next fronteir
Drupal has done a great job of attracting the best and brightest programmers. With its modular development structure and solid performance mechanisms, every developer I know that looks at it is very pleased. The next people that really need to be brought on board are designers, or it won't really matter that Themes happen to be in a different directory; developers will be the only ones using Drupal and designers will be off hacking away at Wordpress or Joomla. We've got to make sure what lives in the Themes directory is what designers really want to see.
Keep us posted
I'm to far away so I hope you keep us posted?
