Extinct Drupal Camps and the futureThere is no guarantee that Drupal Camp will take place in the same location for two consecutive yearsCamps may have existed in the past, but are not there anymore, due to the variety of reasons From not having enough sponsors, not having enough support from local community, not having enough volunteers or even speakers, not finding the right and proper location and so on Drupal Camp Johannesburg is one example




All in all, there are too less activities in Africa connected with DrupalWe can only hope that African local communities become more alert to the benefits Drupal can offer and begin expending the use of this CMS a little bit more
