Baltimore Drupal Camp returns on Friday, Oct. 9, for a daylong dive into the free content management system at the University of Baltimore’s William H. Thumel Business Center.
In its second year, the event is looking to provide training for new users with a daylong course taught by a professional instructor. Co-organizer J.R. Maroney pointed out the $20 price tag, which he said is low for such extensive training.

Maroney, who works at Baltimore dev shop Simple Information, said getting up on Drupal could lead to lucrative opportunities.
“Drupal is really the preferred CMS for the U.S. government right now. Especially in D.C., they have so many jobs available that they just can’t find enough Drupal people,” he said. “We’re trying to expand the community here of course, but we’re also trying to educate people enough where they can fill these jobs.”
For experienced Drupal devs, sessions throughout the day will focus on topics like unit testing, design and optimization. Maroney said one session will focus on Headless Drupal. While the name may seem appropriate for an October event, the idea of adding another layer between the end user and the website is a hot CMS topic right now. Maroney said last year’s session on the topic was standing-room-only.
