It used to be that learning Drupal guaranteed a lot of blood sweat and tears locating the right documentation for your needs and finding help among an informal network of Drupalers. Throughout the years, it has become simpler to find help through programs like Drupal Core Mentoring and a growing number of options for formal training.
Back in November, we communicated that we were searching for a CTO. Now, we’re pleased to announce that the search is over, and Josh Mitchell (joshuami) will be joining the Drupal Association team as our CTO effective March 31! At the Association, Josh will be working with us out of the Portland office to improve Drupal.org in a variety of ways, including:
The Drupal.org Content Working Group recently published a post announcing their plans to reinvent Drupal.org— and we’re trying to get the ball rolling on this major improvement of content, usability and design.
For me, going to DrupalCamp London was a bit like going home. After I joined the Drupal Association, DrupalCon London was the first Con I worked on from beginning to end, and it was where I was fully introduced to the incredible Drupal spirit. I built great friendships with so many wonderful community members, who gave up their free time to help make that event a success.
Great news, everybody: The Drupal Association’s February Global Training Days was a HUGE success! 34 training companies from 20 countries participated in hosting Introduction to Drupal and What is Drupal sessions. We at the Drupal Association would like to issue a huge thank you to the participating companies and trainers that hosted the sessions. You guys rock!
Another month, another Drupal Association Board Board Meeting! Huge thanks to the community members who showed up in the meeting and on IRC to participate. We are very lucky to have so many active and passionate community members who help shape the direction of the Association. This month we tackled several meaty topics, made a big announcement, and more.

Seven years ago this month, Dries presented the State of Drupal in front of a few dozen developers at the Open Source Content Management System Summit on the Yahoo! campus in Sunnyvale, California. Drupal 5 had just come out, PHPTemplate was all the rage, and everyone was abuzz about the news that the Nigerian Prime Minister was using Drupal for his blog.
Today, Drupal is used by the President of the United States and nearly every other government on the planet, DrupalCons are attended by thousands of people, and PHPTemplate will soon be replaced by Twig in Drupal 8. The Drupal project and community have grown rapidly in a very short amount of time.
Over the past few months, I've had conversations with Megan Sanicki and Joe Saylor at the Drupal Association. From them, I’ve learned that the Drupal Community is expansive, diverse, authentic, transparent, creative, ever-growing, and needs you.
Don't know who Megan and Joe are? Then keep reading, because this post is for you.
