Agileware Sponsor Start-Up Camp Canberra Sept 2012

agileware support — Fri, 04 May 2012 06:37:01 +0000

Agileware are sponsoring the third Startup Camp Canberra being held at University of Canberra, 4th to 6th May 2012.

For the event, Agileware provided the following services:

free hosting accounts for each startup team, to build out or launch their great startup idea!

Experiencing the thrill of launching a web business and learning-by-doing are the purpose of Start-Up Camp Canberra. Over the course of a single weekend, teams will be formed, brain storms will result in idea tsunamis, business strategies developed, code written and (hopefully) a web application launched to the world. On the Sunday, your team gets to present its business to the world at a special media launch event and get critiqued by actual web technology investors (even some wizened old characters who actually experienced the last tech boom!).

Notes from DrupalACT meeting 6th March 2012

agileware support — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 07:11:51 +0000

The first DrupalACT meeting was held at 6pm, 6th of March 2012 at AMA House in Barton. http://g.co/maps/x25fu

Attendance was about 12 to 16 people, with Anton Baggerman coming all the way from Bundanoon. Anton also regularly goes to the Sydney Drupal meetings. There was good general representation from the Canberra Drupal community, which was great!

Chris Skene kicked off the evening, welcomed everyone, provided an overview of the DrupalACT user group and issued a call for presentations / proposals for future meetings.

Two presentations were delivered:

Multi-lingual website: A case study of translating Drupal into different languages by Adam Malone
Drupal 8 Preview by Chris Skene

Highlights for the presentations for me personally:

Multi-lingual website: understatement of effort required to verify text translations are being applied
Drupal 8 preview: the comment that Drupal 8 is now including the “Request Object” architecture which was available in Drupal 3, subsequently dropped in Drupal 4.x and is now being developed again for Drupal 8. And secondly, that Drupal 8 will include core parts of the Symfony project, http://www.symfony-project.org

After the presentations, Chris announced the new DrupalACT logo developed by zhangtaihao. Great job on the new logo!

There was general chit-chat after the presentations and as Anton suggested we will set aside more time for this at future meetings.

Here a few photos from the presentation on DrupalACT GooglePlus.

I would like to thank Australian Medical Association (AMA) and specifically Michael Manning and Josh for making the conference facilities available to the group.

If you would like to follow DrupalACT and come along to future meetings then I recommend you:

- Keep an eye out for DrupalACT posts on groups.drupal.org

- Circle the DrupalACT user on GooglePlus

- Or join the DrupalACT user group on Facebook

The next DrupalACT meeting will be held at 6pm, 3rd of April 2012 at AMA House in Barton. http://g.co/maps/x25fu

Look forward to seeing you at the next DrupalACT meeting!
