Our vision to move the New England Drupal Camp throughout the region began in 2016 with the help of New Hampshire Drupal Group.  Our destination was Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester.  SNHU was a great venue and the conference was a success.

One of our goals of running NEDCamp is to promote giving back to Open Source Software, specifically our CMS of choice, Drupal.   We are pleased to announce that NEDCamp 2016 will include a contribution sprint.  A contribution sprint, or contrib sprint for short, will give attendees a chance to break the ice on giving back to the community, something we strongly advocate.  Being led by Damien McKenna, one of the Drupal community’s leading contributors, the NEDCamp contrib sprint will focus on finishing off one of Drupal’s most highly used modules - Metatag.

We are excited to announce that Brian Charlson will be the Keynote Speaker for NEDcamp 2016. 

"Mr. Yunus is 85 years old and started to use the Web several years ago to stay in touch with family and friends, and to read about art history. He has reduced vision, hand tremor, and mild short-term memory loss.

In 2014, when naming the newly founded “New England Drupal Camp” (NEDCamp), the vision was to have a regional camp.  After two successful years of hosting NEDCamp in Rhode Island, it’s time to explore New England.

Members of the New Hampshire Drupal community have joined forces with the NEDCamp team.  We are happy to announce -
