It has been a busy week for me in a lot of ways, but one of the most exciting reasons was due to the first Drupal Association elections. Out of 57 applicants*, 11 were chosen to be added to the General Assembly as Permanent Members (PM). I am deeply honored to be amongst those 11.ContinueContinue reading “I just signed up for a lot of work”

The Drupal Dojo needs you! (Yes you!)
Just over a year ago Josh Koenig started up a little group on groups.drupal.org called the Drupal Dojo. He thought mentoring a few folks in the Drupal way would be a good way to pay back some karma. Well that little group is now up to 1073 subscribers and has its own website at http://drupaldojo.com.ContinueContinue reading “The Drupal Dojo needs you! (Yes you!)”
Build a future with GHOP
It has been one month since Google announced their new Open Source program, the GHOP contest (Google Highly Open Participation.) Angie Byron has written up some great progress reports on her website and on drupal.org. I have to say that I have been pretty blown away by the students we’ve been able to work with.ContinueContinue reading “Build a future with GHOP”
Reacting to Sexism
Earlier today on #drupal (the main Drupal IRC channel for those that don’t know) a conversation erupted about sexism. It was precipitated by a statement from one person to another in the channel and it did get talked out and basically resolved. Generally I have to say that Drupal has what I find to beContinueContinue reading “Reacting to Sexism”
Finally on Drupal
Well, as you can see the site looks pretty different. I have finally moved on to Drupal and since it is my new bread and butter, it is only fitting. 😉 This is a barebones site for the time being with just my old journal entries. I will fill out a few more things overContinueContinue reading “Finally on Drupal”
Site shake up
Well, this is a quick note that I will be moving servers and changing the site over to Drupal in the next week. Since the whole site will be changing due to my stopping freelance work and I don’t have time to set up a nice, new site with Drupal it is going to beContinueContinue reading “Site shake up”
Community
I have been working on more Drupal projects as of late and in the last month or so I have finally followed up with getting more involved in the community. My only previous experience with an OS community was the time I spent working with the Apache Forrest project. I found that to be aContinueContinue reading “Community”
A very Drupally day to ya
I’ve been crazy busy with a major addition/renovations to my house along with wall to wall freelance work, not to mention the holidays which always seem to chew me up and spit me out. So this is a short and sweet post to mark two big things I’m pretty happy about. Firstly, today is Drupal’sContinueContinue reading “A very Drupally day to ya”
Dreaming in Drupal
It is said that once you dream in a foreign language, you are really starting to internalize it. Well, last night I dreamt in Drupal. I saw blocks and nodes aligning and snippets of php to accomplish my tasks. I felt as though my subconscious was building a new website all night long, tinkering withContinueContinue reading “Dreaming in Drupal”
Learning with some masters
I will be attending a four-day workshop on the Drupal CMS offered by Lullabot, a group of Drupal masters, in August. I have already figured out a lot of “the Drupal way” by working with it on my own but I really look forward to the prime opportunity to actually discuss specific questions and issuesContinueContinue reading “Learning with some masters”
