mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06DrupalCon is brought to you by the Drupal Association and an amazing team of volunteers. Drupal is a registered trademark of Dries.
@mtift@mastodon.social captured the quieter side of #DrupalCon Chicago - the Quiet Room, the ten-second pause Dries borrowed from Fred Rogers, and why slowing down mid-conference might be the most useful thing you do. A lovely read.
