Drupal
- Drupal contributions
I am passionate about empowering others to use technology developed and designed to allow them to focus on their personal or professional tasks and roles. Technology should be adapted to the users, not the other way around!
I also enjoy irritating people in the issue queues by finding bugs and other problems, particularly about usability and UX stuff. Then, when possible, I try to make them smile helping to test patches, sometimes even providing a patch if the problem is simple enough for my skill level. I also trying to help others as much as possible, and even wrote a document page about updating Drupal 6 between minor versions.
December 30, 2010 I launched www.drupalmill.com (which is currently on hold for a complete redesign). My aim with that site is to create a place where Drupal users can learn and share experiences. The site will focus on Drupal 7, mainly because it is the future and the improvements from Drupal 6 is just overwhelming.
