Boris Doesborg (batigolix) is a Drupal developer at Finalist, based in Utrecht. As Finalist's DevOps lead he focuses on automated testing, documentation, and training for Drupal end-users — the day-to-day that brings him to this talk.

He has worked with Drupal since version 4, across Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Notable past work includes co-developing the European Commission's Drupal platform with a focus on geographic data visualisation (Eurostat NUTS maps), and hospital-admission dashboards for RIVM during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2025 he is a certified WCAG consultant focused on digital accessibility.

Boris has contributed to the Drupal community for over 20 years: 500+ documentation edits, Dutch translation administrator on localize.drupal.org, administrator of drupal.be, and maintainer of 28+ contributed modules. He has organised Drupal events and spoken recently at camps in Berlin, Essen, Ghent, and Drupaljam, and mentors fellow contributors.

Hi, I'm Dominique, Co-founder, CEO of Dropsolid AI, open source enthousiast & advocate and I help companies, organisations and governments with the realistation of digital experiences and digital projects.

I'm a publish author, I appear regularly on podcasts, get asked to speak & inspire people and I help CIO/CTO's, CMO's and CEO's to make better descisions.

I spent over a decade helping to build and grow a Drupal agency in multiple roles.

Solving problems, building digital products and Drupal is still at the core of what I do, and that is why I'm currently building webhaven.io: a ready-to-deploy Drupal foundation that helps launch projects faster and with confidence.

When I’m not behind a screen, I’m usually running, cycling, or spending time with my wife and our three kids.

From 1994 to 2006, I studied philosophy and sociology with a focus on constructivism, financing my studies through web development. During my thesis, I already jotted down initial ideas for RulesFinder.

Since 2015, I have specialized in Drupal and, alongside my work at various Drupal agencies, have continued to develop RulesFinder. Today, I am very proud and happy to be able to present this open-source project publicly.

I’m a web developer based in Belgium. I share my time working between calibrate and codana.

I started doing web development in summer of 2008, and I’ve mostly worked with PHP as a backend language since.

Starting in 2012, I picked up Drupal as a CMS and I’ve stuck with that community.
I picked up a few responsabilities in that community since, mostly with Search API and Facets modules in particular.

Currently my open source focus is spent around config validation in Drupal Core, or as part of the Drupal User Group Belgium.

I am a part of the board of Drupal Belgium User Group Association (DUGBE vzw).

Soon...

I divide my time between coordinating the technical side of Edulogos.be / Examencommissie.be, and training individuals and organisations such as the United Nations, European Commission, and CERN.

Teamlead of the VDAB Drupal team and volunteer with the Drupal User Group Belgium

VDAB is the Flemish Public Employment Service.
We have 4 big Drupal sites that are each a platform for functionality and a portal to info: www.vdab.be for all the Flemish citizens and those who want to work and learn in Flanders, a site for employers, a site for partners and an intranet.

I used to be quite timid, but working in the tourist industry for a season or two after leaving school, I had to learn so much in so short a time. Main thing is that networking and connecting is a thing that can be learned.
Most people don't get started without a bit of help, but next steps do come easier, by doing and seeing others do.

Within the Drupal community, I am not a developer, but I do not let that stop me from connecting with all those amazing, generous people.
