The changing Drupal community

Mike:

With my voice still recovering from Drupalcon SF, I've been thinking a lot about what I learned. The most surprising and significant thing I learned is that the landscape of Drupal has changed in drastic ways since I first started using it 4 years ago. Even since Drupalcon DC last year, the community is different. Standing at our booth last year, a few people stopped by with curious interest. After a few minutes of small talk, most folks would mosey on to the next booth with the same ambivalent inquisitiveness in which they had found us. Not this year.

Build the right team, and let them work together

Mike:

So, the DrupalCon session that I’m giving with Dave is titled “Planning and Executing a Successful Drupal Implementation.” …. Wait… sorry, I just fell asleep. Yeah, it doesn’t sound very exciting does it? Well, hopefully it will be more interesting than the name let’s on.  In an effort to try to get some folks in the door before heading out to happy hour next Monday, we wanted to share a couple of the topics this week in the blog.

LiquidPlanner Ain't Too Shabby

Rich:

What is one of the key differences between an experienced project manager and one just entering the field? I believe one is this - a recognition that uncertainty is an unavoidable part of the gig, and the ability to manage makes the difference between a great PM and merely a good one. It's neat to find a tool that helps PMs to do just that - that tool is LiquidPlanner.

Client homework before the web development project begins

Andre:

After the contract is signed, but before the project kickoff meeting occurs, there’s a crucial period of time for gearing up and getting ready – for the tech company AND the client. Let’s call it the courtship.
