I spent most of the night in the Airport, mainly working on an idea I had to improve Drupal core and allow the developers to hide the database server address and username when a database connection problem occurs. At the moment these are displayed as it helps the user to find what's wrong with the database settings. But I do think it's not a good idea to display these on a production site. An option should allow people to hide this type of information. I am hoping to get the chance to suggest this patch to the security team within the next days; Drupalcon is surely one of the best opportunity to meet and talk! My flight was in the morning. Even though the weather was cold, it was very clear, and you could easily spot the Sugar Loaf in the green Wicklow Mountains. This reminded me of enjoyable hiking adventure :) We flew over Wicklow, and I managed to take a few shots, even though the mountains look quite flat from so high. I arrived to Barcelona-Reus airport in the afternoon. The first thing I had to do was to swap my sweatshirt and jacket with my sun glasses. It's real hot, but there is a slight brise that keeps you sane. It feels good to be in Spain! In the evening, I meet up with Alan Burke who with me from Galway and many other drupalers for the Social pre drupalcon meeting. Drupalcon hasn't started yet, and I've already met a few interesting individuals. Treacey from Greenpeace UK came as a drupal user - as opposed to a drupal developer - and I found her feedback quite unique in that way: she was involved in evaluating from a user point of view several CMSs: she chose drupal for its features and its active community. John from Scotland has been using drupal core over the last 6 months, and has developed specific modules for a private company. These modules cannot be released in the Open Source community. He uses drupal as a purely development framework. Just another way of using drupal!
