DrupalSouth Steering Committee Panel
Time: Wednesday 13th May 15:10-15:40
Room: Waterfront
Track: People & Culture
The DrupalSouth Steering Committee serves as a vital standing sub-committee of Linux Australia. Our primary mission is to provide stable, long-term governance and oversight for the DrupalSouth conferences - the premier events for the Drupal community in Australia and New Zealand.
Why This Session Matters
As the digital landscape evolves, so must our community. This panel is not just a reporting session; it is an open forum about leadership and the community. We are at a point where the roadmap for future conferences, local community engagement, and the regional health of the Drupal ecosystem are being redefined.
What We Will Discuss
💧 The Conference Roadmap: Insights into how we select locations, manage budgets, and maintain the high standard of DrupalSouth events.
💧 Sustainability & Growth: How we can better support local meetups and sprints between the big annual gatherings.
💧 Community Governance: Understanding the relationship between DrupalSouth, Linux Australia, and the global Drupal Association.
💧 General Drupal Trends: An open-mic environment to discuss the technical and professional future of Drupal in our region.
💧 Upcoming DrupalSouth committee elections
