Drupal is an awesome way to build a career. Many of us have been using Drupal for years and have built a career out of it. More University students need to be made aware that Drupal is hiring and Drupal is awesome. sure learning Assembly is fun.. for about 5 minutes.. but learning how to be a responsible web app that attracts tens of thousands or millions of users is just rocking awesome. The web is the future and our Universities are just now waking up to this fact.

The Drupal project is growing and we need more talented people in the Drupal community. Many companies are providing training and several of those companies are listed on the training page. However, not all trainings are listed and it can still be difficult for people to find relevant training.

6) Make Drupal.org awesome for site builders - module reviews, docs, etc.
Site builders are not developers -- they are architects and masterminds behind Drupal-based websites. This group of individuals wants to find the best or newest modules and themes fast. They also want access to great documentation with easy to understand instructions for the tasks they need to do. And they want to get quick and reliable answers to their support questions.

2012 Planning
Last updated by christefano on Sat, 2012-02-18 03:30
This is a continuation of a page on http://association.drupal.org
2011 was a big year for the Drupal Association. In our first year of staffed operations the Drupal Association was effective in a number of initiatives but didn't meet our expectations in others. It was a year of growth for us, as we learned how to navigate within and support the community and to be an organization that is truly reflective of the community we support. Now with a year of learning experience behind us and a new governance structure we're looking forward to 2012. Our planning process started with the community and now we're returning to the community to define our plan for 2012.

These changes include disbanding the DA's General Assembly, moving all operations from the original organization (VZW - a Belgian nonprofit) to the 501(c)3 that VZW setup to help finance DrupalCons (DrupalCon, Inc or DCI), appointing a new board, etc.
