As we gear up for the upcoming DrupalCon Atlanta, we are recruiting volunteers to serve as mentors during Mentored Contribution Day: Thursday, March 27th. Mentors play a crucial role in making newcomers feel welcomed and confident, assisting them in setting up their environments, finding tasks, and navigating the contribution process.
Not an experienced programmer? No problem! — You can still be a valuable mentor! At DrupalCon, we are looking for mentors from diverse backgrounds, skill levels, and regions to help support new contributors. Mentors guide new contributors on how to find information and act as friendly resources. Mentors and contributors often collaborate in pairs or teams to find solutions and understand their role in the larger context.

In hopes that no shooters would notice them there.
The children were nestled with back pain galore.
They collectively thought, “I’ve played these games before.”
Some kids wore hoodies, some wore a cap,
Some of them decided to just take a nap.
When the lockdown was called, there arose such a clatter,
The students checked Twitter to see what was the matter.
Taking out their AirPods and phones with a flash,
This is more boring than a middle school bash!
Some kids said, “You know what? Hell no,”
And into Bethesda those children did go.

Uncertainty and chaos are the final factors in Trump’s operation. The winners, broadly, will be financial speculators with fast fingers and (especially) inside knowledge. Those in position to move quickly in and out of stocks, bonds and real estate—and perhaps even in and out of the dollar from a base in crypto—could be the biggest winners. The […]
