What started as an idea among a couple of people has rapidly expanded into something with global interest. There are now educators teaching Drupal at higher education and universities, which is amazing. It means new people are being introduced to our beloved open source project.
“What if we could open source the teaching materials themselves, and teach others how to teach Drupal?”

I’m a two-mile gravel slope with a play area, Carl.
You haul up to my “trailhead” (a.k.a. the Jiffy Lube parking lot) wearing six hundred dollars’ worth of tactical nylon, looking like you’re about to audition for Outward Bound: The Musical.

A quick note from Taylor Harris: This installment detours from my typical style of sharing actual events from my life and trying to make sense of them. What you’ll find here is satire.

American politics today can seem to be dominated by extremes. President Trump is carrying out far-right policies rooted in white supremacy and open brutality, while some of the country’s highest-profile Democrats identify as democratic socialists—two exactly equal sides of the same coin.
