This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending DrupalCamp Asheville.  It was a great time to see some old faces and meet some new ones.  For me these events are less about the sessions and more about the other Drupaleers I get to meet in person.  

Addison Berry opened up the day as the keynote speaker.  She touched on some of the very reasons why I use Drupal and attend these events... the Community.  With the number of folks new to Drupal that attended this camp, her message was right on point.  I hope it rung a tone with them.

My favorite session of the day was Building a responsive theme in Drupal with Omega and Drush presented by JP of Redfin Solutions.  Not only was the topic of interest, but JP has a great presentation style.  I'd highly recommend attending any session he's putting on.  After attending this session and watching the Omega theme progress, I'm going to have to switch this blog over to that theme.  I figure I gotta provide my ten viewers the ability to view my blog on their mobile device.  :-)

During each session there were free books to be handed out.  There weren't enough for every attendee so JP had a little humming contest.  One participant had to hum the tune of a song while the other participant had to guess the title of the song.  I wasn't quick enough to catch the whole contest, but I was able to capture part of it on my phone.  Unfortunately the microphone on the phone couldn't pick up the humming loud enough over the laughter of the group.  Below is a minute long video of the contest on youtube.

Overall the event was great, especially given it was only the second year for Asheville.  I think there is / was a survey coming out I need to complete.  But for those putting together other events, here is one comment that hopefully will be useful.

• Explain what a BoF is.  I remember my first camp and I had no clue.  Use the opening session to let folks know what they are and where the sign-up sheets are.

Can't wait until DrupalCamp Atlanta!!!
