We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new initiative led by Programs Manager, Joi Garrett. This program is designed to support the success of Drupal Local Associations by engaging directly with community leaders who work to promote the Drupal project in their global regions.
Connecting Communities
The heart of the Local Associations Initiative lies in fostering meaningful connections. We recognize the efforts of local leaders and the unique challenges they face. By hosting a series of virtual meetings, we aim to create a platform for leaders to share their experiences, successes and challenges. These sessions will not only provide valuable insight to the state of various local associations but help to strengthen our global community.
Though her family sometimes received food stamps and occasionally had their utilities cut off, Marcie Alvis Walker’s parents led her to believe that they were an average middle-class Black family. They encouraged her to pursue her dreams and told her that if she worked hard enough, she’d achieve them. The small catch was that Walker’s dream was an elusive one for any cash-strapped and undereducated Black woman: being a New York Times–bestselling author. Now, as a published non-bestselling author, she wishes she’d had a backup plan.
I rock large appliances and furniture back and forth, ensuring that my body is beneath them.
I remove all tags from my towels and mattresses before purchasing.
I light lighters ANYWHERE.
I lean small children against window screens while the window is open.
I press irons up to my face to see if they’re hot enough to iron my clothes. Then I leave them hot and face down on top of my linen shirts while I make a smoothie.
While I’m making that smoothie, I leave the cord dangling where small children can grab it (at least, those children that haven’t yet fallen out of a window).
Back to that iron I left on: if the shirt I’m wearing seems wrinkled, I iron it while I’m still wearing it.
I ingest anything liquid from any container or receptacle.
I take all the small parts I can find and mix them in with baby toys.
If the iron or blender—or really any device—ever has a problem, I will attempt to repair it while it is plugged in, turned on, and moving parts are still moving.
I remove my safety belt and exit all moving vehicles before they have come to a complete stop.

A few weeks ago at DrupalCon Portland, I announced Drupal Starshot, a project to create the new default download of Drupal. Built on Drupal Core, Drupal Starshot will include popular features from the contributed project ecosystem. It focuses on delivering a great user experience right out of the box. Drupal Starshot builds on recent initiatives like Recipes, Project Browser, and Automatic Updates to elevate Drupal to new heights.
The response has been incredible! Hundreds of people have pledged their support on the Drupal Starshot page, and many more have asked how to get involved. Over the past few weeks, we have been planning and preparing, so I'm excited to share some next steps!
