DrupalCon Global Day 2
Blog postDay 2 of DrupalCon Global was packed full of great presentations, and we also attended the 2 summits: Community, and Performance & Scaling. Everyone has settled in to the platform and rhythm of the conference now, and it’s been great catching up with friends and community colleagues.
DrupalCon Global Day 3
Blog postIt's day 3 summary of DrupalCon Global 2020 and it delivered again. It’s been a whirlwind 3 days full of good content and meeting lots of people new and old. This is the last set of summary notes for sessions, as today we switch over to contribution day.
DrupalCon Global Wrap-Up
Blog postLast week the community had its first online DrupalCon Global. It was a great experience for our team—better than many of us expected. We posted daily summaries of our session notes and comments on the event last week for Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3. Our team also took part in the Friday Contribution Day, with most of our work focused on preparing contributed modules for Drupal 9, the Help Topics project, and documentation. Here's a look at our impressions of the conference overall and our favorite sessions.
This fall we’re trying something new: we’re offering real-time remote workshops. It’s not quite in-person, but I’m pretty excited to try it out.
In this series, you'll learn how to configure and use the Media and Media Library module's in Drupal core as well as related contributed modules. Throughout the series we'll look at the Media ecosystem from the perspective of a site administrator, content editors, themers, and developers.
We've released another batch of Layout Builder tutorials for frontend and backend developers. Learn how to add custom styles, add asset libraries, create custom layout plugins, settings forms, and code dynamic custom layouts using Drupal's Plugin API.
We know that salaries differ around the world. For people who live in countries where the exchange rate and local economy are not competitive with the US dollar, this can make a Drupalize.Me membership prohibitively expensive. So we're experimenting with purchasing power parity.
An example of how we're making working on the Drupalize.Me site a bit more pleasant by adding some database sanitation scripts into our CI/CD workflow.
Joe tries to figure out how to run the Drupalize.Me integration tests using Tugboat.qa and GitHub Actions.

Blog postAmber Matz and Philippa Stasiuk recently attended the online UX Writer Conference. In this blog post, they share some of the things they learned from the conference.
Sign up is now open for our first ever remote workshop. And Joe provides some additional insight into what we're planning.
At the Portland Drupal User Group meeting, we had as a special guest, Tim Lehnen from the Drupal Association, who walked us through the new Issue Forks and Merge Requests features on drupal.org. We also talked about how new contributors could learn how to contribute to Drupal.
Learn about the new Drupal decoupled menus initiative.
No time to learn? What if it was a scheduled event like a workshop? Scheduled professional development events like workshops and conferences can help you get started on a new path. We have 2 theming workshops coming up in February and March for folks ready to learn Drupal’s theming system.
DrupalCon North America is happening in just over 3 weeks, as part of the larger DrupalFest, which is a series of online events happening throughout the month of April. The whole Drupalize.Me team will be there, with Addi speaking on a panel (Leadership at the intersection of business and open source).
