[Drupal Bangalore] Help Vincenzo Rubano travel to Drupalcon Portland

Posted by saitanay on April 9, 2013 at 5:35am

Hi Folks,

Firstly, thanks to everyone who contributed to our previous campaign at Drupal Bangalore a few months ago in support of a Drupal Developer/contributor/author who is in need of medical help.

Details of Earlier Campaign

Today, I Invite you all to help Vincenzo Rubano travel to Drupalcon Portland.

Vincenzo has been blind from birth, but has always had a passion for technology. In his final years of high school he started looking around for tools that would allow him to learn more about web development and so came across open source software. From looking around he could see that the clear leader in this space was Drupal 7 and so started to learn how to set up and manage a site for himself.

He has been contributing to Drupal on issues related to accessibility. Some of these changes now got into the core of Drupal 8!
