Contrib Committee

With the year winding down, our staff were getting projects wrapped up and then had some much deserved end-of-year vacation time with their respective families and friends.

With the year winding down the month was a little quiet, but we still got some good contributions going.

Thanks to our awesome clients for giving us a chance to help make open source software better for everyone.

It has been a while, but welcome back to the Mediacurrent Contrib Committee Review. Each month we’ll detail the many and varied contributions that our team made during this month, this time for October.

Client-sponsored contributions

We recently put together some internal tools to see what our staff are contributing on drupal.org. Now it’s easier to see the great contributions that our team have made which have helped us retain a fifth position rank on the Drupal Marketplace, an achievement we're quite proud of.

It’s a little late in the day (year?), so here’s a roundup of what we got up to last October.

Not sure what this whole "patch" thing is? Have a core change that you can't quite finish? Running into a problem with a contrib module, or a theme, or a 3rd party library, and not sure how to fix it? New to maintaining a module and unsure of what to do next? Wondering how to get your module through the security opt-in process? Is your project's issue queue getting you down? Join us every Thursday at noon EST for the Mediacurrent Contrib Half Hour where we'll be available to help solve contrib challenges.

As the (Northern hemisphere's) summer came to a close, and those of us with children started to get ready for another school year, we eked out some good work during the month.

As crazy random happenstances occur, this July saw more people taking time for vacationing, being ill and attending conferences in any single month than we’d had before, excluding DrupalCon months of course. That said, we still managed to squeeze in some good contributions.

With summer in full swing here in the USA, some of us were taking some vacation time, or moving, so our contributions were a little low.

With DrupalCon over, many of us were heavily focused on client work for the month. Thankfully, we have many great clients that are eager to help push the Drupal project forward.

April arrived in our lives and brought wind, sun and.. DrupalCon! And 15" of snow in my hometown of Keene, NH, but who's counting?
