Drupal big, overwhelming - like an aircraft carrier
Looks chaotic and dangerous for an outsider, but does actually make sense to the people
doing the work
What is Drupal?

We think of Drupal as the code we download
Thats half of it - the other half is the people
The people effect the code which effects all the people using it, who in turn effect the code...
Without the people the code dies on the vine

We think of Drupal as the code we download
Thats half of it - the other half is the people
The people effect the code which effects all the people using it, who in turn effect the code...
Without the people the code dies on the vine
Its really the Drupal community
              and not so much the software that
              makes the Drupal project what it is.
              So fostering the Drupal community
              is actually more important than
              just managing the code base.
                                     - Dries Buytaert

Virtual Reality

Saturday, September 19, 2009

Main places to connect are online:
drupal.org (forums and issue queues)
 - the issue queue is the place where stuff happens - not just for code
groups.drupal.org (regional and topical groups)
IRC, its geeky but well worth checking out
Do it Live

Druplcons (1 in NA each spring, 1 in Europe each fall)
Camps (like this one!)
Meetups
Build relationships, stay connected and keep context for online interaction
Communication




                                                       http://www.鍖ickr.com/photos/heather-dietz

it goes both ways, but you need to initiate contact with others or they wont know youre
there

There are asshats in every community. Dont be one.
When you encounter them, remember:
- everyone has a bad day sometimes
- jerks dont de鍖ne the entire community

How does this work?

Do-ocracy




  http://www.鍖ickr.com/photos/froboy
Saturday, September 19, 2009

Do-ocracy: the person who does it gets the job.
You dont need to be an expert to have an impact
If everyone talks and no one does, then it simply wont happen. So do it.
Structure




                                                        http://www.鍖ickr.com/photos/lindenbaum
Saturday, September 19, 2009

teams grow organically - no real top-down hierarchy
de鍖ned leaders : Dries, core maintainer and docs, infra, security leads
lots of groups and teams just get together, de鍖ne things and do the work
remember this is all volunteer and you can be involved in what interests you
Human beings




Saturday, September 19, 2009

At the end of the day, this is just another group of people gathered around a common topic.
Diverse and passionate.
Even the rockstars are just people and you can call them on their bullshit.
Keep the humanity of the work in mind.
You matter.



Saturday, September 19, 2009

Each person that uses Drupal can have an impact on the software and the millions of other
people that use it
Fitting in to the community is being human and building relationships
