Last week we deployed a major improvement for issue page workflow: https://drupal.org/node/2159813. The issue edit form is back on the issue page, instead of the standard comment form. Huge thanks to webchick, Mark Carver, sanchiz, Bojhan, joachim and everyone else who worked on the issue.
As we mentioned in a previous blog post, we are happy to be offering lead retrieval capability to our DrupalCon exhibitors, who have been asking for it for some time. We know that lead retrieval has been used before at DrupalCon and it raised some concerns among attendees.
This Wednesday, 12 February 2013 at Noon Pacific (-8 UTC), we'll hold our next monthly Drupal Association board meeting. As usual, we'll give an update from the staff report, which now includes our updated dashboard numbers. We'll also tackle the an adjustement to the Association's mission statement, and here about our (fingers crossed) imminent CTO hire.
Drupal Global Training Days are quickly approaching and we do not want you to miss out on the February date. Global Training Days is an initiative by the Drupal Association to introduce new and beginning users to Drupal. The Drupal Association is partnering with training companies to make this happen.
The single biggest reason that the Drupal Association is such a great place to work is the Drupal community. You all dedicated your blood, sweat, and tears to make Drupal amazing, and that includes work on Drupal.org, our community’s home. As the organization charged with maintaining Drupal.org, we’ve relied on a pastiche of volunteer support, contractors (at various rate scales), and staff.
Recently we published our Tech team plan for the first quarter of 2014. To ensure that we are not only telling you about our plans, but also update on the progress as we go, we are bringing back our traditional bi-weekly ‘week notes’ posts. Welcome to the first week notes of 2014!
Hi everyone, if you don't know me I am Rudy Grigar (basic` on Freenode IRC). I have been a volunteer Drupal.org infrastructure maintainer since 2009. This month I started full time at the Drupal Association managing the Drupal.org infrastructure, which I am extremely excited about -- volunteer work has become my day job!
One of my first projects is to improve the development process for people interested in contributing to Drupal.org.
Last week we held our first board meeting of the new year. We were really pleased to share a new staff report format featuring the KPIs and other metrics that we will be tracking in 2014 to document the impact of our work. Because board meetings are held in the middle of the month, our method going forward will be to report numbers against the plan for the month prior.
