Dear Drupal Enthusiasts,
As a newcomer in the world of tech journalism, every day, I face challenges, new lessons, and small steps that make the journey as significant as the destination.
The struggles are new every day, but at the end of the day, the small strides I make become the building blocks of my progress. Looking across, we find people everywhere face their challenges. Even in the Drupal community, these small struggles are the stepping stones leading individuals to conquer immense, significant challenges.
We seldom appreciate individual stories of determination, growth, and perseverance that pave the way to triumph. The personal journey one undertakes to reap success is equally relevant—a fact often overlooked.
So, let's embrace each small step and every challenge, knowing that they collectively shape our journey towards more incredible accomplishments and contribute to the vibrant culture of the Drupal community.
Now let me give you an overview of last week's notable stories:
Today, we published an interview that we had with the organizers of DrupalCamp Colorado. Although the event is over, the conversation remains relevant as a stylebook for any mid-sized DrupalCamps.
