Board Meeting This Wednesday, August 14

Interested in the the Drupal 8 marketing plan, or perhaps how the D7 upgrade is faring? Then come check out the monthly Drupal Association Board meeting. Our meetings are always open to the public (with the exception of executive session) and are accessible via telephone, IRC, or both. The next meeting is scheduled for 12 Noon pacific time on Wednesday August 14. Here's how to join in:

We're Hiring: Drupal Association Technology Manager

As the organization responsible for your home as a Drupal developer, we've been working very hard in 2013 to ensure that we devote more resources to maintaining and improving Drupal.org. We've begun diversifying the revenue stream so that we can scale our income and provide more funding for Drupal.org projects.

2012 Audited Financials for the Drupal Association

The Drupal Association exists to support and grow the Drupal project and community. Part of meeting that mission is performing our work in an open and transparent way.

How Can We Grow Drupal Together?

If you're curious about how we can help you bootstrap a new camp, launch a new training, or if you have ideas about what the Drupal Association can do next, please join us for our first FREE Community Webinar Tuesday August 6, 2013 from 8:00 - 9:00 am PDT, 11:00-12:00 pm EDT, 4:00 - 5:00 pm GMT. How the Drupal Association Can Help Community Leaders features Mike Anello (ultimike), Nick Vidal (nickvidal), Keri Poeppe (kpoeppe), and Drew Gorton (dgorton) sharing their experiences and tips for creating your own Drupal initiatives.

Drupal Association Board Meeting: 17 July, 2013

It's July, and the northern half of the planet is either getting ready for a vacation, on vacation, or digging out of their inbox after a vacation. The Drupal community stops for no one though, and we had the board meeting to prove it on Wednesday.

Upcoming DA Board Meeting: July 17, 2013

It's time for another monthly DA board meeting! We hope you can join us on Wednesday July 17 at 12:00 Pacific / 19:00 GMT. You can participate via IRC (#drupal-association) or by listening in on the phone.

Drupal Association Board Meeting: May 22, 2013

(Apologies for how long it took me to get this post published. We had few things to deal with right after DrupalCon which made it difficult to hop right on this post.)

Announcing Drupal.org Working Groups

Flickr photo: nodesptDrupal.org is the home of the Drupal Project, serving developers, site builders, and site evaluators, all with unique needs. Meeting the needs of all of these audiences is tough enough for any website, let alone one that is governed by its community. So, over the last year, we’ve been tackling the issue of governance for D.O with three main goals:

1. Resolve issues related to D.O in a timely, transparent, and uniform manner, allowing the community to work more efficiently

2. Address issues of long-term strategic importance to D.O, allowing for proper resource allocation and a frame for short-term decisions

3. Allow for the Drupal Do-ocracy culture to flourish while providing structure and support for community participants

 

The Power of Community

I'm not going to lie  - sending out nearly a million emails announcing that you've had a security issue is no fun. Honestly, it's one of the worst things I have ever had to do in my professional life. It's true that cyber-crime is growing fast, and we are not the only organization to face this dilemma, but this isn't the kind of club membership you want to keep.

Welcome New DA Staff

I’m very excited to welcome two new members to the DA staff. These new staff members will have an immediate and direct impact on supporting and growing the Drupal community through DrupalCons, global training events and effective communication to the community and beyond. Please help me welcome them!
