 Thank you, and thank you for the shootout for this year. Tickets are for sale already, really good early supporter price, that's good to log in. So maybe while they get this going, let's do this, right? So probably all of you or at least many of you heard about this phenomenon, like who, what the Icelandic team did in France when we were competing in the European Championship. So I got jammed to help me with this one, and because we were almost done, it's the last session, so we have to congratulate and say to the team of Drupal Camp London, we should applause them. So that would be the start, that we applause them. And then we go a little bit more details about how the Icelandic Football Federation has been doing it, and how we can apply that to Drupal. So stand up. I'm going to teach you because you have to learn this from Russia. So it's pretty easy. So what you do, was anybody here in Dublin raise your hand? So when we did the big photo, we did this. So what you need, you need space. And we need like, somebody needs to take a photo of this. So yes, take a photo of this. So basically it works like this. Jammed us two times. And then we do who team that did this here. And that is what I'm going to be talking about today. If we can learn from this as a Drupal community. So does anybody know that those who have been to the Drupal Camp in Iceland, this is something about taking Drupal all the way, right? So he got a tattoo the other day. I don't have to do any intro. So thank you for that. At Drupal Camp, they were like, oh, you're going again? And I'm like, yeah, but I will get a Druid t-shirt. Yeah, thanks for that. So every year we get t-shirts at Drupal Camp, and we come back and they're so happy to have them. And these are the last two years, t-shirts. So Druid is not, they had to take a plane early, but I hope that they will do the same again in Drupal Europe this year. Shortly about my company. I have a company in Frankfurt, and we also have an office in Spain. And basically we do Drupal, and we have a group of great developers doing Drupal. And we work very much on Drupal distributions. And we work with the DECO, which is the distribution for the government in Germany. We work on OpenEDU, which is a distribution for higher education. We work a lot with commerce, and we are early adopters of commerce. And Thunder, Julia, you're also here. So these are the projects that we work with in Germany. But that's not the topic. The topic is going to be Iceland, because I come from Iceland. So for those in the group, has anybody been to Iceland? Yes. Wow. So I don't have to tell you where Iceland is. For those who don't know where Iceland is, Iceland is over there, all the way on the top. It's a 66 degree. It's really cold normally there. And being stuck at the airport, not knowing if we can get here because of a little bit of snow. So this is Iceland. And if we look at Iceland a little bit more in details, we are 337,000. So it's a very small country, and we basically all live there where a lot of the dots are. So this is where we live, because everything else, we can't go there. We have laser, we have lava, we have northern lights. And it's only two hours away from here, so it's really easy to get over there. But we are not only known for having all the nature, but we also have a lot of... It's a little bit extreme. We have three times the fittest woman on earth, like in CrossFit. We have three times the Miss World. We have the strongest man on earth, who is also in Game of Thrones. You know, it's all my uncles and cousins. Now, since recently, we have football, soccer, for those who are not familiar with the word football. Right, Chris? So the Icelanders, they tend to be a little bit extreme. So Justin Bieber came last year to Iceland, and then all Iceland went to see the concert. And Justin Bieber had to do like two concerts in Iceland. And this actually applies to everything, because I think like around about 99.8%, you know, when they were watching this, then what were actually the other 650 doing? So if we take this and we move this over to Germany, so 10% of the Icelandic nation went to France to watch the Icelandic football team to play. Like my mom was there, they were all there. And approximately like 8.5 million Germans would come here over to watch some match against England. You know, that would be a lot of Germans here, right? So before I go into the details of the Football Federation, I'm just going to tell you about little facts about Iceland. This is the coach, or the manager, like you call it here. He's a dentist. And he's actually like, he says that when I, he has his own dentist office, and he basically says that when other managers go to have vacation on some islands, you know, Bahamas, you know, he goes to his office and fixes teeth. Because this is what he does for a living, and like now he's professionally only a manager. But this is what he did before he, a couple of years ago. But he also does, and this is very special. Like back when we were very small, like we didn't, we were not really good in football, then he actually went before every home game. He went two hours before the game to meet the fans in this pub. And he told the fans, before he told the press, he told the fans about who would be the top, like the first lineup, and what would be their tactics against the team that they're playing against. So he's still doing it, because he said, why should I stop just because we were successful? So he's still doing this. So if you come to Iceland and you watch a game, you can actually go there and meet him before, and he's not going to drink with your beer, but he's going to be there. So this is also, he was with me in school, so he's already 36, and he was really a filmmaker, film director, and he's now the goalkeeper of the Icelandic national team. And this is like, you know Eurovision? You know, the singing context, he did the video for Iceland like a couple of years ago, because that's what he did for a living. And actually the same applies to most of us, like we have all been doing something like that, like I was on the national team in golf and handball, you know handball? Because we are so few that it's very likely that someone was like, that's what my husband always says, like in what national team was this person in? You know? Because we are all used to that, to go through this success at some point in our time. And you know this guy, he was the national champion in looking good with grades and carrying a hammer, and representing Drupal in Iceland. So selecting a national team is not always very simple, because you have a lot of players. But for Iceland it was pretty simple. So you have the 300,000 something thousand, and let's just take the women out, because they are not playing with the guys, you know that's not allowed. Then you have to take everybody who is under 18, and everybody is over 35, and those who have put a little bit of weight, and those who are still in the back, so who is in prison. It's something to think about. It's number 133 in the world. And today we have risen by 115 seats in the FIVAR again. And this summer we will travel to Russia as the smallest nation ever to qualify for a world championship, which is of course not bad for a country that has a population of their size. I think of the London borough of Lumisam. Also there we have England, on there number 16 we have Wales, number 20. So again, how is this possible? And that is maybe what we are going to talk about. Was this, is this just luck? Or let me just start this again. So I'm going to show you a little video of the party and this is just a good video that explains a lot, so I just want to like show you this quickly. We are only 300,000 who live here. So it's the same as currently for instance. So it's remarkable how well the National Team has done that in such a short time, because like two or three years ago we were not better than far away. We probably went below 100 in the FIVAR ranking. I don't think it was 104 or something. I don't remember exactly, but it was the lowest point. It's much changed since Los Leibach took over as a coach and this generation, I think the generation is the best generation to come through I think. Everything is slowly improving as we look at the football. We are getting better coaches and if you look at the ideas that Los Leibach brought in for us when he took in charge four years ago, he changed a lot. Currently we are in place 35 but I think the highest ranking that we've been into is 32 or 3, I don't remember exactly. So we have risen for about 70 places on the FIVAR ranking since they took over. When you get praised and I think everybody likes that little pattern on the back. It doesn't change anything at least for me to have this, just put a little bit more pressure on what we are doing. The National Team, as I said, everything is correct at the right time. The last few years we've been spending money to develop arenas like this and the hours the kids get on these fields is two or three times than the kids in the UK get. It started in 2000 when we started building indoor pitches, full-size artificial pitches indoor and now we have seven of them. We cannot train in Iceland the whole year around. Ten or fifteen years ago we had to train for nine months on sand field. Iceland, or the Football Federation became a part of the UEFA coaching convention and the coaching convention basically is a system that UEFA gives you a certain guidance that you have to follow but you can add whatever you want to it. A British group has three teams, an AB and a C team and even a C players who are one like they're never going to kick a ball when they go past 15 years old and still get high quality coaching. We made our own coaching degrees and now we have 220 UEFA licensed coaches and just under 500 UEFA B licensed coaches. A lot of Icelandic guys don't know exactly the number but I think it's around 200 players that are playing abroad and if you look at the population of 330,000 people it's actually a lot. We're kind of individualistic a little bit so I think that's the reason we have so many players playing abroad. You can see there are more players going every year to a better place. I think when the current coaching staff took over there was a group of players born in 88, 89 and 90 coming into the team a very good team. They went to the 121 Euro final in Denmark in 2011 and they were taking their first steps into the A national team. Lars and Eimann moulded that team into the team that we have today. I think we are one of the best teams in the world if you look at our organization we can say that it's really difficult to beat us. We have a chance against everything we just have to play our tactic. It's going to be a different experience for us to play at the tournament final tournaments of course the first time but we want to do a good job there and qualify for sure out of the pool and try to get as far as possible. We tried to have a damage control on what people expect from the team we tried to keep people on the ground Iceland is normally the jump too high. There were three main points that the football association did and they touched almost all of them in this video but I'm going to briefly go through them. They actually improved the training quality so they required all trainers to become Eufa licensed trainers. There is a Eufa coaching convention and they have created a pyramid when you have the level 1, 2 and then you have Eufa B license Eufa A and Eufa Pro. This is a guidance or a convention that the football association like the Eufa did and they basically gave it over to the local associations and then applied this and this is what Iceland did approximately 15 years ago and what it means is that if you're a coach of a main team you have to have an A license like at least. If you're a main youth coach you also have to have that. If you're U21 and lower divisions you have to have the B license and 12 years old they have to have more than B if you're a coach there and everybody who is below 12 years old the coaches at least have to have level 2 and that's a big difference from yelling dads training the 8 year olds, right? So if we just think about all the licensed trainers that we have in Iceland we have basically one coach per 411... so that's like a lot of licensed trainers that are working in Iceland so to put this into context in England this is like one per 11,000 people so that's one of the main things that the Icelandic football federation has been working on another thing is to create facilities to have facilities where you can train and not only the professionals but also the kids so that is also a big difference from what we see in Germany they are building this amazing hall like indoor football stands they are doing like outdoor but that's only public for the really good players but in Iceland this is available for everybody so they also heat up because the nature like we have two lines of water coming into our houses one is like with cold water and the other one is with warm water so we don't have to heat it up because it is just in our nature so what we then do with all this because when we drive around in Reykjavik of course sometimes it's icy so we heat up the roads with the warm water but the same we do with football fields because when it is snowing outside you still have to be able to play this is one of the seven big halls or stadiums that they have been building so that's just pretty simple to put up if you have a lot of space and the space we have and in there you can there is like lights and everything is top class so this is what they have been building around all Iceland because it is dark like now it is still dark probably for 18 hours per day so when kids come home from school it's already dark even though in summer we play also our season is only three months because we can only play when it is light outside so the football season is from June to August something like that and the third thing that they have been doing they have been working with schools and they will be getting young people to go on the football field and what the football association did they basically created a plan and they worked with the government where they said like hey this is your plan you can build this in your city in your little town this is how it is supposed to look like the goals are supposed to be there and the size should be like this and the lights should be like that they basically created a really good concept and then what the schools did and what the city did they basically created these fields so everybody can go and play there whenever they want so the kids are even taking in Iceland buses go and pick up kids at school and they drive the kids to training so they have a program the city has a program to enable the kids to go on the football field so then it goes to the question how do we apply this what we have been talking about to this year that's the challenge that we are going to talk about and think about the structure it's pretty similar how the structure is from the Drupal association and Jufa so if we look at the Drupal association we have local associations we have a Drupal association in Germany we have in Denmark, in France in Netherlands, Paris and we have it everywhere and not only do we have that we also have the user groups so basically in every country we have tons of user groups in Germany, in Frankfurt area in Heidelberg, in Berlin in Munich so we have all these user groups that's pretty similar to how Jufa actually has Jufa is like the union of European football associations it's a governing body and then you have the local football association so what do we have here we have the Icelandic one, Kauase which is Knapsgirnussamp in Iceland we have the FA from here we have the German ones they love the stars you notice and then basically we have the Scottish and the Portuguese Ireland and then we have in each country the clubs and I just had to put Arsenal there like shoot out to Nivika that has been doing their website so this is basically the same structure so if we think about the concept that we have been looking at and what Iceland has been doing then we can start thinking okay, how can we enable people to become better mentors I would not like to say that but we could for those who want to we could create a program because how does this actually work today can I see who in here is a mentor and who would like to become a mentor and I would like to see everybody but how are we going to do that how do you become a mentor and that is the question that we are trying to answer and as Hussein said in his session today for those who went there or missed it he said we are all mentors mentoring is not to only be helping out with code mentoring is to stand here and tell you something mentoring is to sit next to somebody and help him with something so you are already a mentor because you are here and you are most likely talking to somebody about some problems that you are having and you are trying to solve that so these are my mentors on Drupal.org and mentoring on Drupal.org is a little bit like I just say that they are my mentors they don't even have to approve that I just say like Rachel, Jan, my mentors and they are like okay and then you ask for what are they your mentors well I can tell you that like jam introduced me to very jam there he introduced me to the Drupal community he took me to conferences and told me and taught me everything like allow me to go and talk there so he is my mentor Rachel has also been teaching me so much about the Drupal community and how it works and Kristoff has been teaching me about Drupal but this we don't see here and it appears that we need to as a community to change this we need to somehow enable our mentors to get credits for what they are doing so Michael is organizing sprints in now a national right or at least you were in Vienna in Vienna he was organizing a sprint and he is doing an excellent job he has been organizing also sprints in Heidelberg Drupal camps in Frankfurt and Germany and it says nowhere like if you are organizing now a Drupal event in your country who should you contact you know do you go on my list and check and you start calling them you don't know you need a place where you can go and you can see that he actually likes doing it and he has been doing it so he knows how to do it so you know who to contact so that's just a suggestion suggestion number two and the discussion looks like it's just open up for discussions and this is just about thinking about what has the Icelandic Federation been doing in football and how can we actually learn from that because the guys who are now playing in the World Championship they were starting to play football when the football federation started to do their program so we as a community we have to think about something like that too product or project so anybody here like you guys in Drupal Camp London you've been doing this now again so you know how it is to create a camp but I did my first camp in Iceland last year have you organized a camp? like you don't even know where to start and you have to start by finding a logo then you have to find a designer that is willing to volunteer to create a logo then you have to start to create a website that we do easily know that we cannot do so easily because we also have to do our jobs and then we have to create a website and this goes on and on then we have to create a sponsor pages and how do they actually look like do I go for the 1000 years or 2000 years and to whom should I talk to so there are a lot of places we have slack channels where we can discuss this there is also like a couple of pages where we can you know camps in Europe like 50 of them and I can just tell you that I know way too many people who have been burning out after organizing an event like this so this is amazing what they are doing here in London because they are doing it again and again but that's not always the case because there is often people are just completely like done, like I have to take a break and this we need to change because we should not be reinventing the wheel again and again and again so there has been like all kinds of efforts been tried like we have these websites you know where they are how do you organize it I think yesterday when I was looking at it I think I found like 5 or 6 of different places and I am also part of the Drupal camp organizers in Drupal Slack it's another Slack but who has actually been doing this and mastering this do you know this concept so the Rails Girls that's basically after when you are here check out their website because they created a concept and that's basically like so here is how you organize a camp and here is all your material and here is your email template to talk to your sponsor and it's in there there is even a logo you can just use you can take the logo and you can put your city on it and the nice thing when you go and you look at it you even say like this is the template for the sponsors like we are doing a 2 day event at insert city you know on this insert date this is really simple and what has been happening around the world is that women have been taking this concept and creating events to teach other women Ruby and this is just so look at that we also like last week we also saw something like this coming out so we have a lot of we have a sprint kit you know that Drup and Jan have been working on and they published that last week so it's a it's a kit like how would you organize this how can we make our contributors when they come and it's really easy for them to set it up and start contributing so the good news is is that last week the Drupal association they announced that they are going to start crediting people who are doing this work so at least we are one step further again to the mentoring you know we are not there yet with the mentors but we will get there but with the camps they have been listening so now they said ok we are going to try to connect the camp websites to the Drupal org profiles and we are going to give them credits the people who organize camps so you can read about that in the ladies block another great example is the splash awards so the the Netherlands Drupal association has been doing splash awards since 2014 and they just basically said like hey why are not all local Drupal associations doing this so splash awards is basically you you award the best Drupal projects of the year so what they did they have this concept the logo is there the website is there so they basically open sourced it and they are still working on making the website with all the material but the German association just took it and set up a splash awards and now the German association has been doing this for two years Austrians are joining Norway has already done it Denmark is doing it in your own countries organizes splash awards because this will result in a very many case studies for Drupal so if you want to ask questions about that you can talk to Paris Jam is also hosting splash awards also in the Netherlands he's a great host for it maybe the suggestion number three is how can we make it easier for developers and for people who want to learn Drupal how can we actually make it easier for them to get training and this is something that I've been thinking about for a long time and then I met Moldova so association in Moldova they have people on the payroll to work to promote and grow Drupal in Moldova so what they have been doing is that they created this so called Drupal school to get developers to certify themselves in Drupal so it's a two month program that is like a beginner program medium and then advanced and when in the advanced class you can then go into either site building back end or front end and they did and actually they gave me the material there is an exam in the end so there is this program that you can take and you can start teaching Drupal so we all have access to our to the universities where we've been at and this here that's three times per week they do two hours and then on Saturday they do an optional and they basically get a trainer in to do this and then they just put on the program this is very successful so please look at the website of theirs and here is the challenge how can we take this and we can actually apply this to our local associations so we can start teaching Drupal in our own countries and I know that they are also up for discussion about how they can open source their program and do something more with this so basically there are so many opportunities for us as a community to grow our project and that's just the invitation that I wanted to invite you to is a discussion about what can we do how can we learn from so we sometimes in the Drupal community we are sometimes focusing too much on Drupal because we think that that's how the world is but there is also so much other things going on for example the Icelandic Football Federation Association which they are doing amazing things and we should go and we should look at what they are doing and we should see if we can apply this maybe to our project and that's a challenge that we have and we have to do that by creating better places for people to grow which is our main goal so that's when what comes out of it like we are so happy that the community comes together and creates this here this is also going to be a place where we are going to this is like a promo this is the promo sorry but here we are going to have everybody to come together we are hopefully going to be doing workshops and trainings and at least try to have this discussion again with you guys so there is a ticket for sale now so thank you for listening I hope that that you get you take something with you home now please if you have any questions then please go for it and Björk and I have them all yes hello hello hello I was just wondering when he seems to help you become mentors might start and how would you look into that are you thinking about when will we start this that's the discussion that we have to have so I think like what Hussein has been doing in his talks in the past some other Rachel is doing the same you know we are trying to get more people involved to become a mentor and I think that now we have to take this to the next level and we have to take and start to create a place and that maybe starts with the Drupal Association or it starts with the local associations that we have to start to create something where the mentors can come now today they only like the official office hours is once per week then once per month for only two hours where they meet online of course they are doing all kinds of stuff together themselves but this is the official place and we have to start making this a little bit more public maybe once per week one more question how can the community and everyone else get involved in Drupal Europe and how can they help out so we have on Drupal Europe we have on Drupal Slack we are there and there is a Drupal Europe channel we have also our email address and we are setting now up an open project which is a product management tool where there is going to be like the backup is just going to be online available to anybody you don't even have to log in and then you can start taking tasks because you know we need to work on the brochure and then you say ok I want to look into that because that's not going to be public so we are going to try to get volunteers to start working by having an open project online and then just ping us all of us one more so what's your vision for Drupal Europe that differentiates a bit from the Drupal concept parts that means it's more likely to be kind of like an exciting thing for your gear relative to what the the issues with Drupal are going to be more likely to be more likely to be more likely to be more likely to be more likely to be more likely to be the issues that come to my part most important our main goal is just to bring us all together and we are so happy to have places like DevTest and Frontend United where certain groups are coming together but we need to have a place where we all come together where the businesses are going to be the frontenders, the backenders to work on the project but we are also trying to we are trying to move a little bit, we are trying to do something that we think is missing and that's more case studies that's more of real examples so we are going to be having more summits about government publishing so we are going to be trying to get also other audience in but most important and what we are working at is to get all of us together so we can work on the product so that's the goal if we are going to find a place that can take 1,500 people it has to be big so it has a little bit different but sit down in the camps so that means that the price is always going to be a little bit higher but we are trying our best and the more sponsors we are going to get the better it's all going to be for us right? Did I answer it? Thank you very much Thank you Thanks for the ideas I'm wondering how we are striking the balance between on the one hand having an established formula for sprints, for events for mentoring but also having the space for being innovative and having new ideas coming up because looking at UEFA half of the potential football players I excluded because they are women we are still battling this attack so we are in a classroom allowing to have women's teams so if we end up with a formula that is flawed at the beginning we will have much more problems vectorifying it so how we are keeping most diversity and different types of events coming up as well as supporting people who are existing good practices I think number one and the most important for diversity is for example to have people coming to events and talk and that's what we all have to do here we have to have women speakers so there will be more women to come to the talks that's how it has always worked out but we need to have this discussion and that's why we need a place like Drupal Europe where we can come and discuss this and we need to discuss these ideas how we can do that and still we all know that UFA has a lot of money so we also have to put that into the formula there is a lot of money involved and we of course do not have that have the community to work on it so we have to have that discussion I don't have an answer they have been like they have been like and the youth team and the robotic team
