After a process of communityinput and a final choice by Dries, there is an official Drupal 8 logo! Dries unveiled the design during his keynote at DrupalCon Prague earlier today.
This year, the Drupal Association has focused on better understanding our community so we can best serve all audiences. We so appreciate all of your input through the (many) surveys, interviews, DrupalCon BoFs, and other ways you shared your thoughts and ideas with us. We now have a nice list of new ways we can support you and are putting plans in place to deliver on them.
At the Drupal Association, now is the time when we are finalizing our plans and budgets for the following year, so the focus of our pre-DrupalCon Prague board retreat was how to set ourselves up to help our community succeed in 2014. On the table were a few things that we wanted to share and get your feeback about.
One of the most impressive things about the Drupal community is just how diverse it is. Wherever you go in the globe, you’re likely to find a group of folks at a coffee shop proudly sporting one of their many Drupal T-shirts. It’s the job of the Drupal Association to support this diverse community - no matter what you do with Drupal, or where you are in the world when you do it.
Please join us! The next Drupal Association public board meeting will take place on 25 September - at DrupalCon Prague! Our agenda will include a review of the staff report, a report from the Software Working Group about their 2014 plans, and the election results from the 2013 At-Large Board elections.
Today we’re kicking off a six week-long membership drive that we’re calling “Membership Matters.” We’ve named it such because we want to highlight the real human impact Drupal has around the world, and how the Drupal Association works hard to amplify that impact.
DrupalCon Prague is less than a week away! Here is a summary of Drupal.org-related activities waiting for you at the Con.
Drupal.org Working Groups
Almost all Working Group members will be present in Prague and the week will be pretty intense for them. There will be 3 public sessions, one for each Working Group. We call them "community conversations", the format is similar to core conversations, only we will be talking about Drupal.org.
Voting is now open for the 2013 At-Large Board positions for the Drupal Association! If you haven't yet, check out the candidate profiles and review the Meet the Candidate sessions (first and second) that we held.
We had our second Meet the Candidates session on Thursday and got to speak to six more of our 13 candidates. Fortunately, this time, I was able to properly set up the recording, so you can listen to the entire session here, or check out the transcript below.
