DrupalCon Dublin 2016: Community Keynote: Lessons Learnt From My Tour

This talk discusses the insights gained from a 120-day tour around the global Drupal community, highlighting key challenges and opportunities for improvement. The speaker emphasizes the limited engagement efforts by the Drupal Association with local communities outside the US and Europe, noting that current tools used for community building are not sufficiently dynamic. Additionally, the session covers the language barrier faced by non-English speakers in regions such as Asia, Africa, and South America, pointing out that the primarily English content on the Drupal website can discourage potential users. The speaker advocates for multilingual resources and better documentation to foster a more inclusive environment, ultimately stressing the importance of connectivity and communication among global Drupal community members.
