First Code Driven Development meet-up in Antwerp
Yesterday night the first "Code Driven Development" meet-up took place at the Krimson office in Antwerp (Belgium). Around 30 people were attending the meeting, most of them to learn more about this new "hype". Nuvole shared its experience in the field presenting "First Steps in Code Driven Development", both an introduction and a collection of tips and examples for a quick start.
For more read our introductory blog post on Code Driven Development.
Straight after the presentation people were participating in an Open Space about the topic.

Nuvole chose the following two sessions:
- S.O.S. Features: beginner session about features and code driven development where we had the chance to answer people's more specific questions about the flow showcasing real-life examples from Nuvole's projects.
- Base Features: session focused on features re-usability and followed by a brainstorming about how features should be designed in order to be more extendible and re-usable.
Then time was up and I had a train to catch. Thanks everybody for the great inspiring evening and, especially, to all the Krimson folks for putting this together.
Antonio spent a few years advocating Drupal in large student organizations like Erasmus Student Network, where he was responsible for the ESN Satellite project, a Drupal website template now used by more than 300 ESN sections all over Europe. After moving to Brussels he founded Youth Agora, a non-profit organization working on Drupal projects in the field of international youth information.
In 2008, due to the increasing demand for Drupal projects, he co-founded Nuvole, a Drupal company based in Brussels and Italy and specialized in working with international NGOs. Nuvole, due to its geographically distributed team, is a pioneer in the field of 100% code driven development.
Antonio shares his experience on the company's blog and by regularly presenting in national and international events, like Drupal VolCon 2010, Drupal Belgium Developer Sessions, DrupalCon Copenhagen 2010 and DrupalCamp Torino 2010.

I've been using the same
I've been using the same approach in all my recent projects with Drupal (usually big ones with distributed teams, so...) in order to make the collaborative development actually possible as well as the deployment painless. I was also supposed to present this stuff at the latest DrupalJam in Amsterdam, but then my previous employer kind of prevented that. Well, anyway, it's great to see that also other people have figured out "the way".
Good job guys. Keep it up.
I have seen a few things come
I have seen a few things come up involving krimson. One cool thing is that they offer community days. I love how you guys give back to the community as well. Great group of guys, and I always love seeing and reading about new projects.
