DrupalCon Denver is a Matryoshka doll. Ostensibly a Drupal conference, hidden inside you'll find several smaller conferences. We call them "tracks," but they really are full conferences. You could show up at DrupalCon, attend only one track, and get more than you get at most single-topic conferences for a fraction of the price. As co-chair for the Mobile track at DrupalCon along with Todd Nienkerk, I've been involved with making sure we have the best possible sessions focused on mobile within the wider conference.

About 6 months ago, I made a game for the Drupal community. I announced it in the local Colorado Drupal community and some other random people have somehow found out about it, but it's still pretty small, and I should have extended an invitation to the wider community long ago. Better late then never.

October's Denver Drupal meetup was focused on "DevOps," with a presentation by Ned McClain from Applied Trust. Ned had given a similar presentation at the Boulder meetup last month, and kindly agreed to make the trek to Denver for those of us who missed the first one. Ned started by talking about changing approaches to development, quickly explaining the difference between the traditional "waterfall" approach with bigger release cycles, and the "agile" approach with smaller release cycles.

At current growth rates, mobile will be the most common way to use the web as early as 2013. Already, 1 in 5 mobile users don't own a computer. They access the web entirely on mobile devices, mostly phones. Mobile means a big change to how we use the web, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg. We’re just starting to realize a fully-networked world, where the web is accessed from any device.
