About Me: 

12 years ago, as a fresh student, I was looking for a CMS to create a student’s website for my faculty. They all were weird, too complex or too clunky, except for Drupal which I fell in love it with and haven’t looked back since.

For a while I’ve crafted my skills with various Romanian startups while freelancing on the side with Demotix (now Corbis), who I’ve joined full time four years ago.

In 2009, along with some friends, I helped create the Romanian Drupal Association, which I’m a founding member of. Together we’ve organized the Romanian Drupalcamps and I’ve spoken about Drupal at various local conferences.

In 2015 I’ve made my relationship with Drupal official by having a core patch in Drupal 8.

For some time I taught programming courses at the university. I’ve gotten back to that together with some friends from Eau de Web hosting, since 2014, Global Training Days in Bucharest. This year we’ve upgraded and we’ll be teaching a full course on Drupal 8 to students.

Thank you for asking this, Yareckon, I'd like to add - Voidberg - what practical steps would you/could you take towards this?

Hey Jeff and yareckon, thanks for the question and sorry for responding so late.

First, I’d like to improve the way the association communicates with the users, especially with communities from around the world or via drupal.org (e.g. right now there’s no news about the voting on the front page of d.o). Improving the infrastructure would also be something I’d like to see and help with (e.g. no notifications for comments on the candidate profiles).

I’d like to set up better documentation to help people start teaching Drupal, either as full blown courses or as part of GTD.

I’m also interested in involving and listening more from communities from around the world and to make sure that changes needed by the users are heard and pushed. As a first step I’d identify proeminent members from various communities and make sure their voice is heard. Also the change.drupal.org idea we floated in the “Meet the candidates” sessions makes a lot of sense to me and I’d like to see it happen.

Thanks,
Andu
