It’s difficult to pronounce. It’s all consonants and diacritical marks. Along with some gagging and sputtering.
No, no, we don’t kill our patrons. Not intentionally. Although we have had some losses. Who hasn’t? Unlike other food collectives, we’ve learned to embrace our mortality rate. It’s part of our ambience. Our joie de vivre! Chef Claire says that a high propensity for death elevates the palate. Until it doesn’t.

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?”
