Drupal Planet

Be on stage with Rob and Jam at Drupalcon Portland!

Body: 

Every Drupalcon, Jam and I welcome people to the conference in our own special way. Whether it's Dirndl's and Beer in Bavaria, The Spirits of Drupalcon, or an iPad Orchestra, we always try to keep it fun but informative. This year we've got a special theme picked out and we need some volunteers. So if you want to play along, and can commit to being at the session on Tuesday, May 21, from 10:15 to 11:15, fill out the form below and we'll get you on stage as part of the show! 

Oh, did I mention there are prizes to win?

Thanks to everybody who signed up! See you in Portland!

 

 

The ABC's of DrupalCon Munich

on Mon, 09/03/2012 - 22:40

DrupalCon Munich is a few weeks past but today was the first day I was fully recovered, and by "fully recovered" I mean all of the red toe-nail polish was finally gone. Through various twists and turns I ended up being part of five sessions this year, including the highlights of being onstage with Acquia's Jim Shaw talking about Enterprise Sales, and announcing the entire product strategy for the Commerce Guys (which will be reprised as a webinar soon). Those were certainly stressful sessions with high expectations and a lot riding on me to perform well.

But in the end, nothing took quite as much preparation and hard work as the opening session - the 6th iteration of a tradition started at DrupalCon San Francisco - where jam (aka horncologne aka some name that only his mother calls him) and I get on stage at a stupidly early morning hour and use music and cheap theatrical tricks to convince people they didn't come to the wrong conference.

So, for posterity's sake, here's the video of this year's session, featuring the debut apperance of "Roberta", the Beautiful Blonde Baviarian with a Beard. After utilizing Alphorns, Accordions, Dirndls, Lederhosen, Schuhplattler, Yodeling, and the amazing soundtrack from the recently released film "Bavaria", we're going to need some new ideas if this show is going to play Portland next year!

My Role at Commerce Guys

on Mon, 06/11/2012 - 16:56

Today marks a new phase for me; I have joined the Commerce Guys as Director of Product Operations. This role will see me  working closely with the product development, sales, business development, and marketing teams to create and bring to market a product lineup focused on Drupal Commerce, and eCommerce in general.

The four years I spent at Acquia have been nothing short of spectacular.
