Diary of a Non-Techie in a Drupal World

Let me introduce myself – I'm Steph, the newest member of the Ixis team. I've now completed 6 weeks in my new role as Business Development Manager at Ixis.

The directors have taken a leap of faith employing a non-techie to drive forward their thriving Drupal development, hosting and support business.

Put The Kettle On For Charity

Ixis took time out this afternoon to raise money for one of our favourite clients, The British Epilepsy Association

To be honest, we are not likely to take part in fundraisers that involve physical activity, so this one was lovely.  Tea was kindly donated by Typhoo (brewed locally in Merseyside) and we all scoffed our body weight in flapjacks and cookies.  Even our famous Druplicon Stress Balls enjoyed the break. 

CREATIVE SECTOR SKILLS SHORTAGE

The director of the CBI in the North West, Damian Waters, has today highlighted that the growth of the creative sector could be hampered by the lack of relevant skills being taught.

The report details recommendations for the Government to introduce higher levels of computer programming and software development courses. Further, the CBI want to see greater collaboration with universities to ensure that courses are relevant to the working world.

Video short: What is Drupal?

The Drupal Association Community Cultivation Grants handed out their first round of funding to produce a nice video short from the Brighton Area Drupal Association usergroup (UK).

The video gives a brief introduction to reasons people have chosen Drupal as their content management system of choice for business and pleasure.

Nice to see our little Ixis Druplicon stress balls have made it from the Croydon DrupalCon event down to Brighton!

Drupalcon Giveaways

As part of our week-long Drupal conference sponsorship we're resurrected our very popular Druplicon stress ball.

Designed by Mark D, the Drupalcon London 2011 edition comes in 3 limited edition Union Flag colours and features the grinning Drupalicon on the front and our new branding on the reverse.

Come visit us at our 1st floor booth area where we'll have sofas for a sit down to re-charge your batteries and chat about our support, hosting and development services.
