The tech story behind the Drupalcon Szeged conference website
Drupalcon is a traditionally biannual gathering of Drupalers to learn about, discuss and advance Drupal, and to network with other community members. The Drupal Association oversees the organization of Drupalcons, seeking proposals and judging their quality, location, team, etc; selecting a North American and a European location by tradition for spring and autumn.
Drupalcon Szeged 2008 was proposed by Kristof van Tomme, and I (Gábor Hojtsy) teamed up with him to help co-organize the conference. The dates were 2008, August 27th to 31st. Having two leads helped to distribute tasks, when one of us was down or had more to do in their personal or professional lives. Kristof was responsible for all local organization including negotiations with the venue; connection with our local partner C&T and being the top person for all things related to financing. I was the lead guy for the website, speaker connections and putting together the conference program.
