When Marcin Padjdzik suggested that we fly to Poland to give a talk at a DrupalCamp, I jumped at the chance. He later mentioned how surprised he was not to have to convince me! Especially considering neither of us had spoken at a conference before. The logic was simple: flying to a place where we knew that the audience would be strangers would make our first talk a whole lot easier. Luckily that theory proved to be correct!

I had a great time in Wroclaw. It is a lovely town and very scenic and the people seemed really friendly and relaxed. I spent every evening socialising with locals who were very welcoming. It was great to to spend the evenings that way rather than eating out at touristy restaurants.

Thanks go to the organisers for setting up and running this camp. The Drupal community is fairly small in Poland, so hats off to them for making this a success. They have been trying to attract English speakers to make it altogether more of an international affair. I think that is a great move and I can see it increasing in popularity over the next few years.
