DrupalCamp Baltics in Riga, September 25th

First ever DrupalCamp in Baltics region will take place on September 25th in Riga, Latvia. Camp will bring together Drupal enthusiasts and alike from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and guests.

DrupalCamp Baltics will be a one day event with two session tracks covering from basics of Drupal based web development to doing Drupal business and advanced development topics.

Our sessions at DrupalCon

Out of 240 proposed sessions only 80 sessions made it to DrupalCon Copenhagen. We took part in four different session proposals and were lucky enough to get two of them accepted. With so many top notch technical sessions at DrupalCon we decided to focus on our other core competence in our session proposals: Managing projects and Drupal business. This focus means our sessions will be interesting to much wider variety of different people, not only developers.

Our new training offerings

Some of you might already have noticed that we quietly published our new training offerings a few days ago. Mearra has been doing a lot of private training all year and we have been getting requests for public workshops from companies who want to send only 1-2 people for a workshop. Based on customer feedback we will also start offering public non-technical Drupal workshops!

Looking for new developers

Mearra is looking for new Drupal developers to Helsinki, Turku and Valmiera. You should have previous experience in web development, experience in Drupal is also beneficial. Mearra is a training organization and we will teach you everything you need to know about Drupal, agile development, quality assurance and hosting.

Awesome people, great spirit at the DrupalCamp!

Last week the Old Student House (Vanha ylioppilastalo) was filled up with like-minded open source enthusiasts sharing knowledge about the Drupal platform. The two day event included four tracks and dozens of sessions which covered productivity showcases, project management discussions and a lot more!

DrupalCamp Helsinki is coming

Mearra is a proud sponsor of DrupalCamp Helsinki and we are also responsible for most arrangements to make the camp happen. We have booked the best possible venue in the heart of Helsinki for this event: Old studenthouse better know as "Vanha ylioppilastalo" in Finnish. Over 200 participants are expected for this event making it one of the largest digital media events in Helsinki this spring. Dates for the event are Thursday 27th of May and Friday 28th of May 2010.

Media+Drupal 28.4.2010

The following post is about an event in our Helsinki office and is published only in Finnish.

Media+Drupal -iltapäivä Vantaan Technopoliksessa

Monet pienet ja lähes kaikki suuret mediatalot käyttävät Drupal-julkaisujärjestelmää verkkomedioidensa julkaisualustana. Mearra järjestää lajissaan ensimmäisen Media+Drupal -iltapäivän suomalaisille media-alan edustajille keskiviikkona 28.4. alkaen klo 13.

Module showcase: Radioactivity

Radioactivity is a Drupal module for providing hotness metrics for content. The module is originally developed for and sponsored by Uusi Suomi to replace the Drupal built-in node counter. The node counter records node loads for a certain node (a news item, a blog post etc.) and resets the daily counter at midnight. This has obvious limitations if you want more information than just the node counts per day.

Introduction to Drupal workshop late March

Next intensive three day introduction to Drupal workshop will be held at our Helsinki office 15.-17.3.2010. Price for the workshop is 1200EUR + VAT including all training materials, breakfast, lunch and afternoon coffee. For more information and reservations email training at mearra.com.

New office in Helsinki

Mearra now has a new office in Helsinki area. We have just moved in Technopolis building just next to Helsinki-Vantaa airport. This location is ideal for us with international airport only 700 meters away, excellent connections and much more bearable traffic than in way too congested central Helsinki. We had to do actually move some walls in order to get our brand new penthouse office in order, but final result looks very very good.
