 Okay, we're gonna go ahead and start because we have 44 slides. No And it what you said three minutes a slide Don't worry. You'll make it by the pantheon party You know, this is a very tough slot. You're writing your work. You're the last session before the parties Not a good place to be people who want to go to the park, so My name is Greg Marshall. I'm a solutions architect at HCL. I've been on Drupal dot orgs since 2006 and Tended my very first triple con in 2010, which is when I decided to get serious about becoming a developer Before that I was just simply a user site builder. I happen to have all of these occupational certifications I'm a grandmaster for Drupal Southern Drupal 8 and I wrote a book a couple years ago called Master of Drupal 8 Use I'm Amanda. I'm a site builder at Colorado Interactive. We do all the Colorado dot gov sites about 250 years I'm also a Drupal Easy Academy graduate and I've actually had a Drupal dot org profile since 2008, but I didn't really get involved in Drupal until 2016 and into my first triple con in Baltimore Okay, so we have a disclaimer basically we both work for public corporations and we're here being us not the companies we we work for so Read the legal stuff later Who here does not have a Drupal dot org account? Oh good. I don't have to do that I was going to tell you do not pass go do not collect $200 and Proceed immediately opening up your phone your computer anything you have and get your account now because you want to start the time So the other day I was talking to my co-worker Alfredo and the topic of our Drupal dot org profiles came up I know you helped me set mine up when I first got active after the Academy But I wasn't really sure how important it is What should I tell them about his profile? Well your profile your Drupal dot org profile and your LinkedIn profile really in many respects represent your online resume And so hiring managers will check them out people evaluating modules will check your profile out There's a lot of reasons why and even though you might not give them the URL to your Drupal dot org Profile if you Google Drupal plus your name in that first page There's about a 95% probability that your Drupal dot org profile will show up So the people are going to be able to look at it anyways and let's let's talk about a couple of examples I already sort of mentioned the the fact that when people are evaluating modules They're going to look at your profile to see what kind of contributor you are within the community But just as importantly I've been involved in hiring quite a bit and over the years I've always asked for people Drupal dot org profile to see whether they're they're participating in the community and If you had two equivalent resumes and you brought up their profiles now These are basically equivalent people. They're both talented back-end developers the one on the left I happened to work with he's down in Costa Rica the one on the right I just happened to know but these are two equivalent things What do you think a typical hiring manner is going to do and at the same time and and it's funny because one of my co-workers from Accenture when I was there when I interviewed at Accenture My interview started off with my technical interviewing saying I'm not going to ask you about Drupal I already know you know it and we went on to talk for an hour and a half about other things But it was it was a very interesting. That's when it really clicked on me that that your Drupal dot org Now I know Alfredo is not looking for a job and I certainly hope he's not looking for a job But if you're part of a team and you're out pitching business and a client decides to check out who are gonna be the developers working on my site Which one would you like to see? Drupal profiles like this and this is actually three out of five Developers who put together a project very much similar what you and your team did in a year, but they did it in 12 weeks So it's a site factory implementation Or would you like to have This team which is I considered the dream team of Drupal It's Dries and two of what I consider to be some of the better-known Community members that are very very short program. So this is the idea that you want to have a profile that you can be proud of All right, you've sold me. I'll talk to Alfredo tomorrow. Can I show a miracle profile? Sure So mine looks like this because it's long enough. I had to make it tiny Really doesn't matter, but it shows you the general structure one thing I want to do is we're going along We're going to talk about a bunch of different fields and forms and they show up in the standard Drupal layout Left sidebar content area right sidebar So we numbered them one two and three as we go through We'll show you where all the various things happen And this is Alfredo's profile before we started it's actually better than many But not as good as it could be so why don't you go ahead and start with the basics and review options? Well, the first part of the profile is pretty obvious just standard Drupal username password email address Next is a checkbox for whether the account is shared For shared accounts, they're usually organizations and they allow several users to edit the information There's a checkbox for contact form with it Which if you check people on can talk contact you via Drupal dot org and then next on the page are the various Communications you can get signed up for I signed up for pretty much everything and I get maybe one email a week So if an in-depth I would just sign up for it and you can always change your mind later Next is the personal information tab first and last name pretty obvious You can also There's also the option to set your pronouns, which is a new option since I created my profile I know it's part of the Diversity inclusion initiatives that I heard about in Drupal Confaltumor. I added she her to my profile Alfredo added he him, but I know years of blank The next set of checks marks are another part of the diversity inclusion program They don't change what's displayed on your profile, but they do let the Drupal Association do a more detailed analysis of the Diversity in the community, so I'd encourage everybody to build that part out The next part is the biofield and it looks very innocuous and very small on the form Fortunately, it's a standard Drupal draggable field so you can go ahead and expand it and when you do that This is what mine looks like You this is really the chance you get to put almost anything you want on your Drupal dot org profile Including your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe So make sure you get a good recipe the first paragraph. I always and mine. I have it's the same Little short bio of myself that I use whenever I'm Registering for a camp or a con or anything. I just copy it off of the Drupal dog or profile So it's a very brief who I am and sort of a fun fact that I like to ski in June And then I go into more detail and then because again I was the I was one of the first people to get all of the aqueous certifications I've listed them all here, but just as importantly notice that there's HTML in this field So you can use HTML and if you click on the more information about Text formats you'll see that there are a lot of HTML tags available to you to do your formatting And I encourage you to take advantage of them and make your profile a little bit easier to read a little bit easier to navigate And technically you can have images on the on your in this field The one limitation is that image has to be on Drupal dot org So one way of getting around this is to file an issue on maybe a module You already maintain upload your image as part of that module or that issue and then immediately close the The image stays on the site and you have access to something you can put on I would encourage you that maybe that's not the best approach But it works Following that are some some fields for general websites you want So the first one I have on my profile is my company Website which has been in the middle of being refactored for the last five or six years probably will be for another five or six You know typical shoemaker's children and then a link directly to my book since I want people to buy the book someday Then you have social links and for me I decided that LinkedIn and Twitter with the two even though I don't tweet very often Those were the two things because I don't generally use Facebook and in a business environment So those are those are things and you can reorder them by dragging and dropping and getting it just exactly the way you want And then the last part of this tab is your photo and I use a standard formal photo I had taken when I started at Accenture I recommend a formal photo personally because I think this is your online resume You want to be as formal as what you can be informal You can have a picture of your dog if you aren't comfortable having a picture of you put an avatar or It really anything an icon if you notice Alfredo used his his aqueous certification badge But whatever you do you do not want the gray shadowy figure that Drupal defaults to that shows that you just didn't care enough To even bother uploading something so at least change that to something anything. We don't I don't really care The next tab is the language and location tab, which is pretty straightforward I picked the time zone we live in Denver the country United States and we felt out the location as Aurora Denver, Colorado If you don't fill out the location the country will display, but if you do fill it out that will display We picked a language for Drupal God or to communicate with Alfredo and His primary language both English and we selected English as this language spoken But since he can also speak Spanish help them and control key and selected Spanish as well The next thing you have is is the table able Drupal not your Drupal involvement So the first part of a series of checkboxes for how you contribute to the project They've been the same checkboxes for as long as I can remember mostly. So we give support on IRC Haven't seen anyone on IRC in a long time. I certain there are still people but so this is self self reporting pick things that you feel comfortable saying you've done and then About a year ago, so it's relatively new to me They added this second text field that you can enter your own Drupal contributions either Expanding on the checkboxes that you've checked or adding things that just simply don't aren't represented So I help organize the Colorado Drupal camp. That was something that I was very proud of I've helped organize Drupal contribution days at camps and cons As a mentor I've also spoken a couple of times at Drupal cons many times at several camps and Helped organize global training days all over the world. So Albany wherever I have a contract I seem to convince the community there to go ahead and do global training days Further down at the people who have mentored you in Drupal You type part of your Drupal username and auto complete work bring up the rest These get displayed on your profiles pictures, but just like any SEO They also link back to you from their profiles So if you pick people who list you if you click people who list your mentor and everybody has gotten help from somebody So this is a great way to acknowledge and thank them Finally, there's a long and growing list of Drupal events. Now. These are typically Drupal cons You'll notice the early events weren't Drupal cons because Drupal cons didn't exist then but these were the equivalent of Drupal Drupal Europe is listed here and it looks like I need to go back and update my profile because I didn't check Since I'm here, I think I can probably Before you add who you work for the next tab is your work. So your work experience This is like listing the jobs you've had on LinkedIn or on your job profile But before you add it check to see if they have an organization account on Drupal.org If they don't check with your leadership Because you don't want to be creating duplicate accounts But if they don't then go ahead and create an account for your organization and upload their logo Because then if you when you come back to this place and put in the exact name that's on the Organization profile that logo will come over onto your profile. Otherwise it would just show up as a company With possibly a link so you want to do that and the reason why I said double check with your leadership is when I joined HCL they have three profiles So they had three different people in different parts of the world that had decided that they should have an organization profile So one of the things we did very early When I started was get them all cleaned up into a single profile After you get that done go ahead and add them you again You can drag and drop them and get them in the order that you want them in The comments tab controls what part of your profile would be displayed when you create a comment And since all issues on Drupal.org or comments, this is probably more important than you think So there's some parts of your Drupal.org profile that are automatically generated so you don't control them You don't enter a form. The first is how old your account is Which is why I'm so eager to have people sign up as early as they can It's there's nothing like having a nice long period of time Nobody's got more in about 18 years six months because that's when Dries Started the account so since he's user one I'm pretty certain no one can be older than him Then you have the number of edits you've made to the documentation anybody who's been confirmed Can edit most of the documentation or some of the newer documentation that's being moderated So that has to go through a review process But otherwise you can edit it just like on a Wikipedia and you should if you see something wrong or you see something Unclear go ahead and click the edit button and do that now. This doesn't go up every time you edit It goes like one five ten fifty a hundred So it doesn't happen all the time, but it will eventually catch up with with it And I think it's actually being done during your crime The next one are the credits on issues fixed in the past year This is relatively new and I think it's part of that expanding credit system that the Drupal Association's been putting in place and so a lot of like camps our camp uses issue credits as a way of acknowledging people who participate in the various meetings and organization and Activities that we do in order to get our camp ready and then I have a couple of core credits that actually I traced back Just for fun and realized that I didn't add any code But I had documented how to reproduce a bug that we had run into when you had multilingual paragraphs with content moderation all stacked together and so That was a that ended up being how we did it and then finally I do have some projects that are going to rapidly roll up when Drupal 7 goes away because none of them are that I've actually made direct code commits to Lastly on the right hand side if you or your organization work for the or a member of the Drupal Association You'll get a series of badges Okay, and everyone really should be a member of Drupal Association The reason is that Drupal.org is maintained by the Association. It's more than just the Drupal.org website It's all of the infrastructure that makes the project possible the git lab the the testing frameworks the localization Servers all those things very important to all of us that use Drupal But that that function and function very well and not supported by the Association and the other thing is that the Drupal Start and more or less a run Maybe not logistically, but they the Drupal cons come from it And if you look really carefully you can find Amanda and I in this picture So the first level of membership is an individual membership it's $15 a year or 15 euros So it's not very expensive And I really believe that anyone working with Drupal should be an individual member That's just that simple If your organization uses Drupal, I think you should be an organization your company should be an organization member I actually recommend when I'm doing projects for clients that they join the association They just saved a half million dollars not buying a they can afford a $200 or 160 euro organizational membership And so if they're doing that they really should do that and if you're Companies a member I still recommend that you go ahead and become an individual member There's just all of us need to do our part to help and then finally there's a supporting partner and This is for companies that are willing to make a slightly bigger contribution It's about twenty five hundred dollars a year and they didn't show what the euro Equivalent is if there is a euro equivalent But if you're a company and you're driving reasonably significant revenue from Drupal I really think you should be a supporting partner because you're driving reasonable revenue from Drupal And you should be doing your part to give back and the reason why I say this is because I really don't want you to be one of these This is a leech So you don't want to be a leech on our community instead What I really want you to be is the superhero that you could be by being a member of the Drupal Association So this is what Alfredo's profile looks like after his makeover. We know there's Some contributions he can be making to generate more visibility and his comments to work on that Good so what we'd like you to do is join us for the contribution opportunities on Thursday That will also if you get involved and contribute those kinds of issue credits will show up on your profile Good way to think you know make your profile better. You'll see a man denied there as the greeters and please participate in In contribution day even if you're not a coder there are things to do this year. We're going to have mentored Contribution for both documentation and marketing which we haven't always done. We've done documentation quite a bit and then finally Like all good Agiles, we run a retrospective So we'd like you to go online and take the survey and tell us how we did with this presentation and tell the Drupal Association and and can any Be how the con went overall so with that because we're one minute past two Yeah, we're not doing questions If you have questions you can talk to us afterwards or at a party
