On June 12th I attended the yearly Drupaljam conference for the fifth time. My first attend was in 2017. This time it was a special one to remember as I had the honour to meet Dries in person and have some pleasant talks about Nostr.

Meeting Dries and Nostr talks

Just like many others my Nostr journey began in January 2023 during the TwitterMigration. As a Drupal developer I was completely surprised that the founder of Drupal Dries published a blog item about it a month later Nostr, love at first sight. Dries and I had some contact through Nostr with setting up a internet identifier address (NIP-05) and a lightning address for sending/receiving zaps. During Drupaljam I finally had the chance to meet Dries in person. We had a short pleasant talk about Nostr and some features we could build with it. Dries is still enthousiast about Nostr despite he isn’t using it much (which I totally understand from his role as Drupal project lead and the many projects he’s thriving). Still, occasionally he’s posting notes. He also reposted our picture below. Can you spot the Nostr pin I give him on his lenyard?

Robert Slootjes as the serverless guru

Robert gave a interesting peek behind the scenes how he created a system with own hardware and software for entrance gates used for festivals (ID&T). Visitors with wristbands equipped with RFID tags are able to open them based on different access policies. 24 06 12 14 46 41 1062 24 06 12 14 28 51 1061
