Thanks to a whole slew of people, we rocked the socks off of the January challenge and got the Documentation issue queue down to a svelte 125 issues. Keep in mind that includes all new issues that came in for the month too, so BIG thanks to everyone that helped out. Hopefully we can stayContinueContinue reading “Docs challenge February: cleaning comments”

SANDcamp: It’s the people, stupid
I had a great time at SANDcamp this weekend. It was great to catch up with friends I hadn’t seen in a while and I met lots of cool people. Most of the time I was trying to suck them into the Drupal community. 😉 My keynote was “It’s the people, stupid!” and I’ve attachedContinueContinue reading “SANDcamp: It’s the people, stupid”
Going to play at SANDcamp
This weekend, I’m headed out to sunny San Diego for my first Drupal event of the year, SANDcamp. I can’t wait to see my friends, meet new people and generally geek out for a few days. I’m excited for a lot of reasons and while basking in the warmth of SoCal is definitely something toContinueContinue reading “Going to play at SANDcamp”
What would a rockin’ docs year look like?
This year is already shaping up to be busy and challenging in a lot of ways, but one the biggest challenges I’m chomping for is in the world of documentation. By “world of documentation,” I don’t just mean Drupal docs either; I’m talking about all Open Source docs. Here is a bit of a glimpseContinueContinue reading “What would a rockin’ docs year look like?”
Docs Challenge January: tending the queue
With the start of the new year, I’ve decided I’m going to run a monthly “Docs Challenge.” I’ve got another post coming down the pike that lays out my long-term goals and the big pieces of the Drupal docs puzzle for this year. One of those goals is to find ways to make contributing toContinueContinue reading “Docs Challenge January: tending the queue”
My Brain is full from Doing it with Drupal
We wrapped up Do it with Drupal (DIWD [dūd] to those in the know) a few days ago and after slogging through email and catching up on the rest of life, I’ve had some time to begin digesting it all. Spoiler: it was awesome. I say that as an attendee and as a worker-bee. OnContinueContinue reading “My Brain is full from Doing it with Drupal”
Nice menus getting nicer
Nice menus is a great little module for creating dropdown and flyout menus in your Drupal site. My time to be a good maintainer for it varies wildly so it often sits dormant for long periods. Last week, during the Thanksgiving holiday, I dove back into the issue queue and after fixing a few bugsContinueContinue reading “Nice menus getting nicer”
Sprints moving Drupal forward
I have finally finished my formal grant proposal to the Knight Foundation to fund documentation sprints for Drupal. (You can read the original community proposal on the Knight Drupal Initiative group page.) The basic idea is that there is a lot of work to be done and getting people together throughout the year, around theContinueContinue reading “Sprints moving Drupal forward”
Interview on Blogher
A few weeks ago Virginia DeBolt interviewed me and the interview is now up on Blogher. This is part of Virginia’s Women in Tech series, which kicked of with a great interview with Shelley Powers. The interview was fun and we talked about not just my obvious involvement with Drupal, but also making beer andContinueContinue reading “Interview on Blogher”
There is more to the web than Drupal
Now, obviously, I’m going to Do it With Drupal, because I work for Lullabot. I also think that it will be a great event for people to learn about many, many aspects of Drupal all in one place and I look forward to hanging out with folks and sharing the Drupal love. But, I haveContinueContinue reading “There is more to the web than Drupal”
