DrupalEasy Podcast

Michelle Krejci (craychee), engineer at Palantir.net, joins Mike Anello, Ted Bowman, and Ryan Price to talk about grand Belgian statues, things in Chicago that only tourists love, why we're all confused about the thing called "continuous integration" and all the tools and technologies around it.

Ryan managed to catch a few final interviews before leaving town on the last day of DrupalCon. He got in a traditional interview with a Blackmesh employee (who isn't Cathy Theys), namely Jason Ford. Also is an 15 minute interview with Colleen Carrol of Palantir.net who recaps her session about Sustainable Recruiting Practices.

We also focus on DrupalCon Los Angeles including what we're looking forward to, if sessions are still necessary, community vs. business networking, and if it's possible to only pack a single shirt.
