GoingOn Participates in BADCamp 2009

Joins Bay Area developers for two days of Drupal development and learning

San Francisco, CA / October 18, 2009 - GoingOn, provider of the first open source community platform solution for education, recently participated in this year's Bay Area Drupal (BAD) Camp conference as a Gold sponsor. BADCamp is a free, community-powered gathering, where developers come together to share their experiences and enthusiasm about Drupal, an open-source content management system that is powering more and more of the web every year.

Sessions, presentations and developer competitions take place over two days on the UC Berkeley campus, and BADCamp is open to all skill levels.

"This year's BADCamp was our biggest yet, with almost 300 attendees, dozens of presenters and sponsors. It showed the depth of the Drupal community in the SF Bay Area," Tao Starbow, Application Programmer for CITRIS/UC Berkeley and BADCamp Instigator. "Our new hands-on day was particularly successful, getting dozens of new Drupal developers ready to roll, and providing a space for current experts to collaborate and contribute to the Drupal project."

"At the heart of the GoingOn Community Platform is a common community and content management framework based on Drupal and Moodle," said Jon Corshen, CEO of GoingOn. "The BADCamp community and experience is a great way to share best practices and foster new and creative techniques for using Drupal in web-based projects. We look forward to participating year after year."
