Building the Drupal.org re-design community infrastructure: Administrators wanted
One of the biggest challenges in working in a large community like the Drupal community is removing bottlenecks. All too often the community can seem to come to a grinding halt on just one issue that can only be managed by one person. On Monday Dries gave a presentation at MIT and talked about how some of the Drupal community’s biggest problems have helped create some of our best solutions. In particular, he cited how our drupal.org server melt down in 2005 lead to the creation of the Drupal association to proactively manage and plan for our infrastructure growth.

Turn over in the Drupal association board and general assembly
A few weeks ago a community member raised concern on the consulting list about turn over in the Drupal association, or rather the lack of it. Since this information is often public, but hard to track down, I thought I'd shed some light.
Ten people have rotated on and off the board of the Drupal association. Only four original board members are still present. The board has two new members as of 2009 for the Drupal association, who were not previously permanent members of the association: Tiffany Farriss and Cary Gordon.
Where can I find more information?
The About section has lots of information about the Drupal Association.
Who is involved?
The Staff link provides a listing of the people running the Drupal Association.
How can I help?
