Core office hours

Note, April 2012: For information and updates on core office hours, see the handbook page on Core contribution mentoring.

Drupal core needs more eyes and more contributors to decrease the very high amount of unresolved issues.

We hold core "office hours" each week in #drupal on freenode.

Why office hours?

There are currently a large number of unresolved issues in the core queue, and we want to get more organised dealing with the backlog, and encourage new people to help out.

Current numbers:

State of Drupal 2011 survey

The last time I organized a State of Drupal survey was in 2008. The results of the 2008 survey were instrumental in shaping Drupal 7 as well as directing the work of the Drupal Association on drupal.org.

Now three years later, I created a new survey. The results of this survey will guide thousands of people in the Drupal community over the next two years.

Take the State of Drupal 2011 survey now.

Announcing Do It With Drupal 2011

Curated by Lullabot, the event features many in-demand speakers such as Jeffrey Zeldman (A List Apart), Josh Clark (author of "Tapworthy"), Karen McGrane (UX guru), Jeff Robbins (Lullabot CEO/podcast host), Jonathan Stark (jQTouch/"Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript"), Jen Simmons (Bartik theme/Queen of HTML5), Earl Miles (Views/Panels), Ryan Szrama (Ubercart/Drupal Commerce), Angie Byron (Drupal 7 lead), Karen Stevenson (CCK/Calendar/Date), Jeff Eaton (Voting API, your favorite novelty modules), Nate Haug (Webform, Imagefield), Addison Berry (Drupalize.me), and many others.

In addition to the the "Drupal onramp" content which DIWD is known for, this year will feature a track entitled "Drupal for the Future" focusing on enabling Drupal to power evolving web technologies such as mobile, IPTV, and Internet-enabled devices. The web is quickly changing, and Drupal's flexible, modular nature makes it the perfect tool to power evolving Internet technologies.
