Unfortunately I could not appreciate this Drupalcamp fully, since I've arrived late and needed to leave soon to help cure my flu. However, I did enjoy meeting the welcoming Slovaks from the gentlemen who helped us get to the venue and get back home finding the right way out of Bratislava to the organizers and attendees of the event.
I've had the opportunity before to talk about Drupal Security at Drupalcamp Cologne last year. This time however, I decided to do a talk from the ground up and get better organized. The Is Drupal secure? session from Four Kitchens was most inspiring. I thought it was a great idea to take the OWASP top 10 risk list and give the Drupal answers to those. However, the 2010 list was quite a bit different to the 2007 one that David and company used and I decided to take more of a developer perspective.
Drupalcamps are growing like mushrooms around this region of Europe. While we've had one day Drupal conferences in Hungary for several years now, the Czechs joined the ranks last year and now Slovaks and Romanians will enjoy a gathering of like-minden drupalers this year. The next event coming up is Drupalcamp Bratislava on Feb 27th and 28th, 2010.
As it turns out, the honored Jakub Suchy will not be able to present at this Drupalcamp about Drupal security, so I was approached to step in. I was more than happy to participate and continue spreading awareness of security best practices. I hope to pack a good amount of tips for site maintainers and module/theme developers at the same time.
As it currently looks like, Drupalcamp Bratislava is full, but you can still sign up for the waiting list in case not all registered attendees will be able to come.
