Revision of Drupal Camp Taipei 2013 from Fri, 2013-07-12 18:25

It is an honour to be invited to Taipei Drupal Camp this year
I submitted a migrate content case study
and got in successfully http://2013.drupalcamp.tw/session/83
So booking air tickets, sleeping bed, prepare slideshow
join the second day's hackathon etc
Thanks TKY had been helping and inviting me
And this is the exact right time to "exchange" outside HK when I started my own business
Get some fame, seeking co-working opportunities with Taiwan

I got the impression that the developers in Taiwan is more eager to participate after working hours
I had think of numerous reasons, like population is 3 time more than HK
Tech sector in Taiwan is much larger, and Tech industry is a "higher graded" job in Taiwan
And HK only being seen as "poor geeks and nerds"
and many others factors
But there isnt still a single reason why tech communities in HK is so much smaller
Just in July, there are Drupal Camp Taipei, HITCON, COSCUP happening in Taiwan, hosted by comminuties themselves
And there are WIDS in HK, hosted by gov backgoruned isoc.hk
But HK are famous for holding exhibitions, world-wide scale...
(ok, there is barcamp(s) in HK)

Let's come back to the camp
Enthusiastic pretty much sum that up, every where during the camp
I was a volunteer during collage
and know a bit about the effort behind the scene
《Thousand meeting,spend in two days》is a very good summary
The Enthusiasm from the participant, from volunteers
even without any linkage with their own job
(HK's WIDS was held on Thur, Fri, during office hours XD)
「using Drupal two year ago, but not now again」
heard these conversation I am not sure I am happy becasue they still help Drupal community
or being sad because there is not enough Drupal jobs in Taiwan?

The second day's hackathon was a new experience for me
I havent tried coding on rounded tables like camp fire
and helping ubuntu TW, a NGO
There are a little pressure
我是有一點點壓力的
限時式的實況 coding 對於我這種随心的 programmer 就是比較...難?
幸好我在前一晚己經偷步開始的情況下
還是在限時之內完成了工作
比較可惜的是其間和其他人合作溝通的機會比較少
可以偷一下其他人的秘技還是很不錯的 XD

最後是一點,工商服務的部份可以加強一下
Drupalcon 有贊助商專用的 sessions
可能是情況不一樣
但作為 Drupal 社區,為開發者和公司之間建立良好溝通橋樑
還是社區的成長非常重要的
畢竟開發者要吃飯,公司要找開發者開發
各最所需才是永續的最基本條件

就這樣,最後多謝 TKY,
各位有聽我不是一般爛的普通話的聽眾
幫我拍得超好的攝影師
各位志工們
熱情的台灣朋友們
師大附近的正妹
和香蕉味的啤酒

最後,下個月 COSCUP 再戰台灣!!
