An extraordinary opportunity exists to support Drupal CMS, boost your organisation's credits, and bring one of the leading minds behind Drupal CMS directly into your organization.
We're seeking sponsors for Cristina Chumillas, the UX and Product Design Lead for Drupal CMS, who has been defining and driving the product direction since the Starshot initiative started in May 2024.
We were lucky to have Cristina engaged in this role full-time for seven months, thanks to Lullabot. Now we're looking to extend this to ensure we can deliver on the strategy for Drupal CMS 2.0 and beyond.
Why Core Contributors Are Business Game-Changers
The real value of this sponsorship goes beyond supporting Drupal—it's about what core contributors can do for your business.
"Working with a core contributor is like having a superhero on your team,” explains Pam Baronne, CTO at Technocrat and Drupal CMS Product Owner.
"There should be an absolute premium on hiring core contributors. They aren’t just an asset to Drupal -- their skill, knowledge, and connections make them incredibly valuable to your company”.
Sponsoring a member of the Drupal CMS leadership team ensures your organization is not just prepared for what's coming, but also has the insider insight to help position you in the shifting market.
Cristina can bring a depth of experience to your organization that is hard to match. Your sponsorship earns you contribution credits directly, boosting your Drupal Certified Partner ranking. Additionally, she can mentor your team on Drupal contribution, building expertise that elevates your company's productivity as well as your standing in the community.
Meet Cristina - The Designer-Developer Leading Drupal's Transformation
As a designer who later learned front-end development and specializes in Drupal, Cristina brings a diverse range of skills to the role. She has been a core contributor for many years. She joined the Core Leadership Team as a front-end framework manager in 2021, and was recently also appointed as a core UX Manager. Cristina has been coordinating key design and UX initiatives in Drupal since 2017, most recently with the new Navigation in Drupal 11.
Based in Barcelona, Cristina is also active in organising the local community as well as DrupalCon. She will be a featured speaker at DrupalCon Vienna and (pending sponsorship) DrupalCon Nara as well.
The vision for Drupal CMS as a tool for marketers, designers, and content creators requires deep expertise in user experience design—exactly what Cristina brings to the role.
Flexible Engagement Options
The structure of the sponsorship engagement is flexible, and we are open to offers:
- Full or partial sponsorship
- Project-based arrangements for specific milestones
- Part-time combinations of Drupal work with your business needs
