How to fit in the Drupal ecosystem when you're not a developer

parth_gohil
Drupal's open source ecosystem is diverse and has opportunities for coders and non-coders to contribute to the project inside Drupal.org and outside. My open source contributions aren't through code and over the course of 3 years, I've learnt a great deal about how where & when a non-coder can get involved to contribute back to the Drupal ecosystem. The way I see it there are more roles a non-coder can play in the Drupal community than a coder.

Non code contributions

In this session, I'll talk about
  • Ways to contribute to Drupal without coding.
  • My journey as one of the first Drupal Community Managers in India.
    • The role of a community manager in the open source ecosystem.
    • What does it take to start as a volunteer and move on to become an organiser for 5 different camps in India?
    • How to add more value to the community and bring them at par with other tech communities or other matured regional communities
  • Why non-code contributions in the physical world are important for Drupal's Image & adoption.
  • How to fit within the developer community when you're not a coder.
From this session, attendees will learn
  • What role does a community manager play in the open source community?
  • Non-code contributions beyond drupal.org
  • How non-code contributions are more important than you think.
  • Workings of the Indian Drupal community.
  • Ways to get involved with the Drupal community to bring a larger change.
