Get ready for your trip to Seattle with this April Fool's Day special episode of the DrupalEasy Podcast.
Drupal Fools a Dr. Seuss joint (sortof)
From the top of your head to the tips of your toes, You are a Drupaller, everyone knows.
You think about Drupal all day and all night. You’re more than obsessed with getting things right.
Your Views and your Fields and your Content Types, Simply scream “Drupal!” here are some reasons why:
Your User Experience is so Steve Jobs-esque Your Splash Awards medals are spilling off your desk!
Your API documentation site, Lets your developers get sleep at night. You’re well known to eat your own dog food. When you’re done with work you’re still in a good mood. And why not? Your patches have all been applied, The hackers can’t get in, and they even tried!
I heard a rumor at DrupalCon Seattle, That your coding standard leaves code reviewers rattled. Before you go saying that I must be kidding, Know that I suck a peek, I did some digging… I couldn’t find one curly brace out of place, One line break too many or one poor stack trace.
Have you ever noticed just how our community Is one of the best at promoting unity? We’re very good at giving hugs, Especially to those who have fixed our bugs. But if you’re not a fan of physical affection, We don’t make a big deal of your objection. (We’re still glad you chose to sit in our section)
Like Birds of a Feather or a Business of Ferrets, The Drupal community celebrates merits. Even if you don’t pretend to know code, Your contribution deserves to be showed. Webchick will help you, as luck would have it, When your first core improvement is ready to commit. (Stick around until Friday, and you won’t regret it)
And if this is your first time at DrupalCon...
Did you know that Drupal is eighteen years young? We’re just getting started, we’re still having fun! Of all websites, we’re say, five in a hundred, The more ambitious ones are quite well funded, But even for NGOs our scopes are not blunted. We’ve got thousands of community projects, To extend, integrate, and meet all of your specs. Even if you don’t speak like a geek, I’m sure the vendors won’t judge you like some kind of freak. They’ll help you translate the Greek, so to speak.
If this is your first event, or your hundred and first, We welcome you to dive in to Drupal head first. Bring us a challenge, we’ll find you a guru, As long as you understand our Kool-Aid is blue. (We do have other interests besides Open Source, We’re human aren’t we? Why yes, of course!)
Have you met Dries Buytaert? He’s the project’s creator. Without him, I might be a Red Lobster waiter. He’s tall and Belgian, well over two meters, (Not that I’ve measured him, that would be cheating), He’s the lead of this project and he helps set the agenda To give us some staying power and stay just a bit trendy. There are really so many others to thank, Given ten thousand thank you notes, none would be blank. It takes a village, at least that’s what I think.
So welcome to the land of rainstorms and coffee, Of mega-giant software companies, To DrupalCon Seattle, it’s like my family reunion. Think Digital. Be Human.
