UTC’s Open Source Camp Rocks Chatt
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga sure knows how to throw a camp—just swap the tents and bug spray for laptops and coffee! On November 7–8, UTC co-hosted Open Source Camp Chattanooga 2025 with ChaDUG (Chattanooga Drupal Users Group), turning the campus into a buzzing hive of tech folks, creatives, and caffeine-fueled problem-solvers. Friday’s all-day workshops dove into Drupal, WordPress, and Laravel, while Saturday’s sessions kept the energy high with real-world accessibility demos, friendly banter, and more acronyms than a government memo.
It wasn’t your typical conference—it was part family reunion, part tech jam session. Huge thanks to Chris Gilligan, Weston Gentry, David Wood, Brian Rogers, Steven Shelton, Natalie Wright, and Drew Schurr from UTC and Lee Walker and Bernardo Martinez from ChaDUG for helping make the magic happen. Folks left smarter, connected, and maybe just a little sleep-deprived—but already asking, “When’s the next one?” (Hint: start charging your laptops now—you won’t want to miss next year!)
