Drupal Fit Community Spotlight: Shannon Lucas
Shannon Lucas is a photographer and outdoorsman who works as a Drupal developer at Four Kitchens. He's a contributor to over a dozen projects on Drupal.org, including the requisite Block Class module and the popular 960 grid theme, Nitobe.
When he's not working or attending Drupal conferences, you can see Shannon on the road as he trains for the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic or in the skies over Seattle, Washington, as he jumps out of airplanes.
Christefano: Thanks for responding to my request for an interview. What's your personal definition of fitness?
Shannon Lucas: I tend to take a holistic view of fitness that includes mental health as well as physical health. In my mind, enjoying life, expanding your horizons, and having good friends is just as important as exercising and eating right.
C: What do you do to stay fit and how do you incorporate it into your day to day life?

Dries Buytaert is the creator and project lead of the Drupal project. In recent years, he became the president of the Drupal Association in 2006 and co-founded Acquia in 2007. While Acquia remains his main focus, Dries donned the mask of the relentless crusader in the fight against spam and co-founded Mollom in 2008.
As if he weren't busy enough, Dries is a father of two, Stan and Axl, and recently moved with his wife, Karlijn, and children from his home city of Antwerp, Belgium, to Boston, Massachusetts.
After some chitchat about Boston, the thriving Greater Los Angeles Drupal community and his recent Drupal in a tablet world post, we jumped into the interview.
Christefano: Dries, I'm really grateful that you put time aside for this.
Dries Buytaert: Yeah, no problem. I definitely want to help with Drupal Fit.
