Hook 42 + NYC Camp + The UN = All Multilingual, All The Time
We are excited to be headed to NYC Camp this week! We are ready to rock the UN with our sessions and trainings... all capped off with a Drupal 8 Multilingual (D8MI) Sprint.

Patrick Storey answers a few questions about working with the Drupal community and contributing to Drupal core. Just goes to show you do not have to be a ninja programmer or have 30 years Drupal experience to have a positive impact in the Drupal community! Thanks, Patrick. :)
I started working with Drupal around a year and a half ago. I was working on a small site in WordPress when my older brother, John Storey, suggested I check out Drupal as he had about a decade's worth of experience using Drupal.
DrupalCon is a wonderful experience (even if it's in downtown LA!). We come together as a community to learn and share and have a fun time. The Hook 42 team grew a bit from last year and was fortunate to have 8 team members in LA. We had a great time and wanted to share some of our highlights with you.
The purpose of this blog post is to tell others how in one week I went from fruitlessly searching the Issue Queue, to contributing to Drupal 8 while interacting with core contributors...and how you can too! I did this by triaging Issues that had the Novice Tag with the help of Drupal Mentors and I documented the process along the way. There are a ton of Issues left to triage and core contributors need your help!
DrupalCon is an amazing experience. We come together as a community and learn and share and have a fun time.
Any of the sessions that are welcoming to newcomers or involve best practices are strategically important for my growth. One advantage of being new, is every session can lead me to grow.
The Hook 42 team had a great time at Stanford Drupal Camp this weekend. Kristen and Aimee presented two sessions each and four other members of our team attended, Lindsay, K2 (Kristin), Marc, and Marc's 15 year old son Dean. It was the first Drupal camp experience for the extended team and they enjoyed the great topics, beautiful facilities, and the welcoming community. Many thanks to the Stanford Drupal community for hosting such a great event!
Lindsay, Aimee and Kristen will be representing the Hook 42 team at DrupalCon Austin this summer. Aimee & Kristen have been to several DrupalCons but this will be Lindsay's first and we'll celebrate her birthday when we're there. Woot!
Hook 42 will be doing all things multilingual at BADCamp this year! First up, on Friday, we'll be training Drupalers on creating multilingual Drupal 7 website's using Kristen's book.
