Our Drupal Blogs
Drupal Camps in Africa were our first blog topic this monthWe got the inspiration for starting the world tour of camps, so therefore decided to present you Drupal Camps on each continentWe started in Africa, where not many Drupal camps took place this year Still the most were in the most developed country South AfricaInteresting fact was that Drupal Camp Gauteng changed its name to better represent the geographic area that it represented

Then we continued with Drupal Camps in Asia, where the situation is much more improved than in AfricaAt the beginning of the year the whole attention was on DrupalCon Asia in Mumbai, so it wasn't until March this year that Drupal camps came to lifeAt the time we were able to guide you to the upcoming Drupal camps, especially Drupal Camp Delhi, which is one of the most known Drupal Camps worldwideIt attracts Drupalistas from all over the world, despite major problems about pollution.

Our next Drupal blog was dedicated to Drupal Camps in North America, where there were more than 20 Drupal Camps that took place this yearThey were lasting one day, two days and even more than two or three daysSome were of course left outWe will point out Drupal Camp LA, which took place for the tenth consecutive year and Twin Drupal Camp, which exclusively focused on bringing together Drupal users from Universities and colleges worldwide

Nevertheless, we also had to leave out some of the Drupal Camps in our blog post about Drupal Camps in Europe
Our company comes from that continent and some of our Drupal developers were already at some Drupal camps
Our CEO Iztok Smolic recently had a session “Drupal Commerce in Drupal 8” on Drupal Camp Munich
Europe took the first place in our ranking table, because it had the most Drupal Camps and there were spread across the continent in the most useful way, covering practically every part of the continent
Since some Camps fail to take place every year on every continent, we concluded that the first spot for Europe is not always the case

For the last Drupal blog in November we decided to explore a situation in South America
We were shocked, because only one Drupal Camp was organized on South American soil, although past years were not so black
Brazil even organized Olympic Games this year, which in theory should have turned world's attention in South America and sponsors for organizing Drupal Camps should have been more easily obtained.
Since we did not know the whole context of that bad year, we concluded that Drupal Camps in South America currently take the last place on our world tour ranking table
