Drupal contributions

As a Drupal developer for over nine years, I've made contributions in many areas of Drupal core and contrib.

My main current focus is developing a Drupal distribution for nonprofits, Open Outreach. As part of this work, I am coordinating development of Debut, set of interoperable and extensible Drupal apps. I wrote an article on interoperable Drupal distributions for the 2012 Linux Journal Drupal Special Edition and blog regularly on Drupal distributions and features development at chocolatelilyweb.ca.

In 2009 I tech led a project sponsored by Sony Music that improved the quality of dozens of major Drupal modules and major multilingual improvements for Drupal core and contrib. I was tech lead for a 2010 site for National Museum of Natural History's Human Origins program.

As well as writing and contributing dozens of modules, I've made contributions to numerous other modules including Views and Internationalization.

I wrote the first version of Drupal core's theme region system, helped write the prototype of what became the core Update module, helped facilitate moving jQuery into Drupal core, co-wrote the Drupal core Javascript behaviors system, and participated in the 2008 design sprint that mapped the way for fields in Drupal core. I wrote some of the basic documentation on Drupal including the Drupal principles, usability aims, structure, and patch acceptance criteria. I have co-taught an 11-week full time course in Drupal site development. As an advisory board member of the Drupal Association I have served on the nominating committee for board members and chaired the 2012 election committee.

I worked with CivicActions before cofounding Chocolate Lily, where I currently work.

Bio

I have a masters degree in geography (my thesis focused on place, nature, and revolution) and over twenty years of experience working with social and environmental NGOs. I've helped numerous large and small non-profits harness Drupal to serve their missions. While travelling and volunteering with my family for five months in Nicaragua in 2009, I participated in the first DrupalCamp Centroamerica and provided volunteer Drupal training and support at two Nicaraguan NGOs. I write folk songs that I accompany on accordion and have had poetry published in journals including subTerrain.
