If you're curious about how we can help you bootstrap a new camp, launch a new training, or if you have ideas about what the Drupal Association can do next, please join us for our first FREE Community Webinar Tuesday August 6, 2013 from 8:00 - 9:00 am PDT, 11:00-12:00 pm EDT, 4:00 - 5:00 pm GMT. How the Drupal Association Can Help Community Leaders features Mike Anello (ultimike), Nick Vidal (nickvidal), Keri Poeppe (kpoeppe), and Drew Gorton (dgorton) sharing their experiences and tips for creating your own Drupal initiatives.
The Drupal.org Content Working Group (DCWG) is one of the groups recently chartered by the Drupal Association as part of its ongoing governance initiative for Drupal.org.
The mission of DCWG, as outlined in our charter (https://drupal.org/node/2001502), is, “to make sure that the content on Drupal.org websites is compelling, well-curated, and relevant for all of its various target audiences and supports a content marketing strategy that serves site visitors and generates revenue to make Drupal.org sustainable.”
Today's guest post is by Calvin Scharffs, VP of Marketing and Product Development, Lingotek, a website translation solution. For more information about Lingotek and Drupal, please visit https://drupal.org/project/lingotek
It's July, and the northern half of the planet is either getting ready for a vacation, on vacation, or digging out of their inbox after a vacation. The Drupal community stops for no one though, and we had the board meeting to prove it on Wednesday.
It's time for another monthly DA board meeting! We hope you can join us on Wednesday July 17 at 12:00 Pacific / 19:00 GMT. You can participate via IRC (#drupal-association) or by listening in on the phone.
This week our notes are all about the Drupal.org D7 upgrade.
We are currently at 70 open issues out of 212 total. Which means we fixed 68% and have 32% to go. This matches our hours spent as well. We projected 940 hours, and are currently at 68.5% spent and 31.5% left. And we do still have about half of the budget left. Though not all invoices came in yet, so this number might be a little lower. As we enter the QA phase, we expect the number of open issues to go up, which is natural.
Remember how the Drupal Association hosted a webinar and you asked for us to think through our strategy some more? Well, we did, with a lot of help from you. More details about that process can be found below, but the big news is that we are kicking off a series of community training webinars in August:
Almost a month ago Drupal.org Working Groups were announced. I bet some of you are curious what we’ve been up to since then! Here is the first update from the Software Working Group.
Scheduling anything for our WG is a challenge, because members are located across 3 continents. But the 4 of us (eliza411, drumm, kim.pepper and I) managed to get together for our initial meeting couple of weeks ago. Angie was greatly missed! We discussed various process and infrastructure questions. Some of the outcomes from our discussions:
We are launching a blog series: The Making of a DrupalCon which will highlight the great community feedback we are receiving and how we are using it to evolve DrupalCon. And, we will explain the processes we are using to make these exciting changes.
