Drupdalday Portugal Aveiro

Ola!

This year the Drupal Day Portugal was in Aveiro. If coincided with the "Festa do Software Livre - Aveiro 2023". Not only is the campus a nice venue with a great vibe, but the city altogether is gorgeous. They call it the Venice of Portugal but as a inhabitant of Leuven a University city, it felt incredibly like home, only near the atlantic ocean and with much better weather.

There was a single track (A formula I tend to like more and more - avoiding choice stress) but I did not take notes in all sessions.

The future of Drupal

Ricardo Marcelino had some really nice slides on the history and future of Drupal and I like the visualisation that shows that Drupal 7 is still bigger than D8, D9 and D10. Drupal 9 will be EOL before D7. I actually start to think (and hope, for the sitde owners) that D7 will be a forever LTS.

Bringing Mautic and Drupal closer together

Dominic De Cooman from Dropsolid explained what Mautic is, how the ecosystem looks like and why it's an interesting thing to look at.

Drupal and OpenAI

I also got the opportunity to present at this great event. I brought a brief look to the history of AI in drupal (drupificial intelligence, chatbots, tensorflow). After that I did a live demo of AI assisted copywriting in Drupal. Tone of Voice, translations, automatic titles and tags and more. Check some Artificilally generated images (By Dall-E From Drupal) from the talk.

Thanks

To the organisers to organise this conference. The content was absolutely terrific, the location was superb and the people were incredible.

Also thanks to Dropsolid for letting me be present at the conference. It's an honor to represent such a great company.
