My first day on the job, I got on an airplane and flew to Australia to attend DrupalCon Sydney. As first days on the job go, that’s gotta be up there as one of the best. It definitely set the tone for life in the Drupal community - it’s been an exciting adventure every single day. I’ve traveled around the world, worked with incredibly smart people, and learned four or five Git commands (thanks Cathy!).
Today we begin our first membership campaign of the year. It’s all about making your contribution official with a personalized certificate of membership.
In our 4th year of running this campaign, we hope that you will help us by either joining the Drupal Association or by letting others know about this opportunity. Members who join or renew from now through June 30 will be sent a certificate. Our goal is to send 675 certificates, which is a 10% increase from last year’s final count.
April 8 and 9, Drupal training events happened around the world. Newcomers were introduced to the project and the community. Thanks to all the hosts, trainers, and participants who made Global Training Days a success.
Hello, Drupal world! We are thrilled to be able to give you an inside peek at what goes into planning DrupalCons. Throughout 2016, we’ll share a series of posts, and a few webcasts, to show some behind-the-scenes aspects of DrupalCon. In honor of National Volunteer Week, this month's DrupalCon post highlights how an army of amazing, dedicated volunteers is behind every DrupalCon.
The Drupal Association is seeking a Design Partner for creative and graphic design services for the 2017 European DrupalCon.

The Design Partner’s main responsibilities include:
At the Drupal Association, we love to highlight that contribution comes in all forms. We are extremely grateful to the Association board members who contribute an enormous amount of time and are so generous with their knowledge and contacts in building a stronger Drupal community. Anyone who has ever served on or worked with a board knows that it's important, hard, and sometimes fun work.
We're thrilled that two more folks are joining us on the board. Help us welcome them both:
The Drupal.org Engineering team is on a roll with many new improvements, thanks to Drupal organizations who fund their work by joining the Supporting Partner Program. In March alone, the team made more progress on Composer for Drupal, content restructuring of the Documentation section, and better data insight into organizational contributions.
