As Drupal events grow around the world, more and more people find meetups and conferences closer to themselves. However, traveling to bigger events like Drupalcons can still be a financial problem for many. One of the solutions for this is couch surfing, where you could take a couch from someone who has it available in the host city for an event. Of course sleeping at an unknown person's place can be problematic.

Earlier this year, for DrupalCon San Francisco, we introduced the new concept of the Core developer summit, which reaches back to the original Drupal developer meetups allowing for planning, problem solving and coding for Drupal core developers. It makes it possible to get together in one space to plan ahead and solve problems at hand.

Ever since Drupal uses major versions for compatibility changes and minor versions for bugfix and security updates (since Drupal 5), it was most often the case that a new minor Drupal release included bugfixes and security fixes packaged into one update.

To aid you in voting for your favourite sessions at Drupalcon Copenhagen and thereby help in the selection process, I decided to gather a topical list of sessions for the coder track. While we are in constant contact with some speakers and track chairs to define which track fits their session best (so you don't end up in a session purely discussing module configuration if you intended to see hard-core coding), the current list of coder sessions is already impressive.
