On a beautiful summerlike day at DrupalCon Amsterdam, we stop at the Drupal Association table, where we are introduced to DA Staff Members JOE SAYLOR, LEIGH CARVER, and RUDY GRIGAR. Then it’s on to HOLLY ROSS (Executive Director, Drupal Association). Erudite cameraman BOB WILLIAMS (Financial Manager, Tag1 Consulting) works the GoPro.

HOLLY ROSS: Yep, so we had a BoF for people who like to knit and are at DrupalCon and it was really great because we all worked on our projects, and we all talked about how we learned to knit. And what I love the most about the fact that there are so many knitters in Drupal is that – I love the relationship between knitting and coding – right? -- like pattern discernment and building – and all the things we talk about that we love about Drupal – it’s all there in knitting, too.

This one is really interesting to me because – well first of all, I’ll just share that we have 2,300 people here – 500 more than Prague. That’s a lot bigger.

What I am reading right now actually is a book called The Last Ship. I don’t recommend it – I hate it – it’s taking me months to read. I’m also concurrently reading a couple of Cory Doctorow books, because I was getting ready to come here and see Cory speak, so I’m reading Little Brother, which is a young adult novel he wrote, which is really really good. And I’m also reading right now, the uh – oh, what’s it called when all the people go to heaven except the bad people that are left on Earth?

RR: Left behind?

BOB WILLIAMS: The Rapture.

HR: The Rapture of the Nerds, that’s it, The Rapture of the Nerds, yeah.
