A few months ago I ran for, and won, a seat on the Drupal Association (DA) Board as an At-Large Director. I’d like to share my journey with everyone, both to provide another look into the work that the board does, and to understand what it’s like to be a new board member. I’ve now… Continue reading Getting Started as a Board Director

Joining the Drupal Association Board
Wow. That was the first thing I said when I found out that I had been elected to the Drupal Association Board. The next thought was how much trust the Drupal community has put in me. I’m honored to be elected. Thank you. I also want to thank my fellow nominees, who all stepped forward… Continue reading Joining the Drupal Association Board

The Drupal Association (DA) At-large Board seat is now open for voting. The polls will remain open through March 20th.

Drupal Association Board Elections Are Important
A week ago I stepped up and nominated myself for the Drupal Association (DA) At-large Board position. This wasn’t a decision I made lightly, and I’m very excited to see so many other people have nominated themselves as well. There are 24 people up for the vote, which bodes well for a strong community. I… Continue reading Drupal Association Board Elections Are Important
Upgrading to Drupal 7
So rocktreesky is finally running on Drupal 7. I upgraded the site a few weeks ago and thought I’d share my experience. This is a very simple blog site so my upgrade process was fairly simple and easier than it would be for almost any other site out there, although the overall approach is going… Continue reading Upgrading to Drupal 7
Setting up a new server
I’ve been playing around a lot with my site, doing an upgrade from Drupal 6 to 7. I also decided to set up a new server on Linode to give them a try (I’ve heard great things about them). I’m an Ubuntu gal so I had to choose between the LTS (Long Term Service) or… Continue reading Setting up a new server
To Be A Geek – Geek Girl Meetup CPH
This Friday I am returning briefly to my favorite city, Copenhagen, only to shoot off again and go on vacation for the first time in years (that’s a whole post in and of itself). On Saturday it turns out that there will be a event called Geek Girl Meetup Copenhagen (in Danish). There was such… Continue reading To Be A Geek – Geek Girl Meetup CPH
Vector graphics apps on Mac
I recently wanted to do some quick vector image work, which I haven’t really needed to do in quite a while. I am by no means a graphics person and certainly not a power-user. I just need to do some of the basics occasionally, preferably without getting totally overwhelmed. I limped along for a while… Continue reading Vector graphics apps on Mac
Spreading the love and doing the work
In the past few weeks I have been building myself up to get back on track with my role as Doc Lead in the Drupal community. I’ve been off radar for quite a while now (since last fall) and I’m finally getting my feet under me to tackle the work of docs again. In the… Continue reading Spreading the love and doing the work
Next steps for Drupal domination
It has been a while since I’ve been on radar, but with Drupal 7 fast approaching and Drupal living in the White House, we need to keep focus on one the keys to Drupal domination: documentation. Here is a little status update on where the Drupal docs world is these days and what’s coming up… Continue reading Next steps for Drupal domination
