Unfortunately, I didn’t get to go to DrupalCon this year, but I did find a great set of slides from Crystal Williams, who I met at Seattle BarCamp last year through her beau, Dan Kaminsky. She worked with one of my favorite Drupal shops, CivicActions to put together a presentation full of useful advice for managing Drupal projects. I’m just starting a redesign of ACLU of Washington, so I can put her advice to work immediately. Check out her slides:

If you’re coming to SxSW, then you are allowed to vote at their oh-so-democratic panel picker.

My panel is called Start to Finish Drupal Redesign, and you can vote for it now!


Bug fighting Drupal drop by Senpai

ACLU of Washington is currently in the thick of a Drupal redesign, made all the more complicated by the fact that we’re nuts about privacy and accessibility, so we’re going to have to modify Drupal quite a bit to account for those things. We’ve put resources into creating a very technical detailed case study of how this project was (will have been?) accomplished, so that others may learn from our vast wisdom (many more others if you go vote for the panel. See those stars at the top? Click on the fifth one. Tell your friends!).

[Edited to add: Also give some love to my friend Tim Hwang of ROFLCon fame, and the fabulous nonprofit tech folks!]
