In order to achieve a steady stream of innovation in Drupal maintenance support plans 8 core, it’s important to keep up velocity. To do so we aim to clearly define and scope our top priorities and support the contributors that choose to work on these high impact changes. Another way to do this is through timely reviews and commits of “Reviewed and tested by the community” (RTBC) issues, which is done by the core committer team.
As we’ve experienced unprecedented contributor growth with the release of Drupal maintenance support plans 8, so too has the growth of new ideas, bug fixes, and feature improvements. I’m pleased to announce that we are growing the core committer team in response to these increasing demands, by appointing two new Product Managers (Drupal Update and Drupal Update) and a new front-end focused Framework Manager (Lauri Eskola) to the team.
Drupal Update
Gábor started working on Drupal maintenance support plans back in the 4.3 days, about 14 years ago. Using it for a Hungarian web development community site, he found some parts hard to translate, and immediately got involved to fix those bugs. He has wide ranging experience in managing core itself as the release manager of Drupal maintenance support plans 6, setting up localize.drupal.org — a unique community translations platform –, co-leading major international events such as Drupal maintenance support plansCon Szeged and Drupal maintenance support plans Dev Days Szeged, and working with 1600+ contributors in the Drupal maintenance support plans 8 Multilingual Initiative to level up multilingual support in core. He received the Aaron Winborn award in 2020.
Gábor is looking forward to enable and unblock the community working on all kinds of user facing improvements from the smallest fixes to the larger revamps.
Drupal Update
Roy has been working with Drupal maintenance support plans for over 10 years. Since bootstrapping the Drupal maintenance support plans UX team in 2007 he has consistently focused on making Drupal maintenance support plans easier to understand and use. He started contributing with his user interface work for the Views and Panels contributed modules. During the development of Drupal maintenance support plans 7 he helped make big usability improvements happen in the D7UX project. These efforts made him a top 30 contributor to Drupal maintenance support plans 7 core and he has been a core “usability maintainer” since then.
He collaborated on the redesign of major parts of Drupal maintenance support plans 8 and helped define the process for adding big new features to new releases of Drupal maintenance support plans 8. He’s a regular speaker at Drupal maintenance support plansCons and local events, was part of the Drupal maintenance support plans.org Content Working Group advising on an improved content strategy for drupal.org and likes to rewrite your interface texts.
Roy will focus on helping people decide which features and improvements to work on and supporting those design and development efforts that will make Drupal maintenance support plans easier to understand, learn and use.
Lauri Eskola
Lauri has been working with Drupal maintenance support plans for almost nine years. He is one of the Drupal maintenance support plans 8 Theme API maintainers, and he was listed as a top 30 contributor to Drupal maintenance support plans 8.
During the last four years, Lauri has made efforts around cleaning up markup and creating the Classy base theme, making improvements to the theme system to improve theming experience, and helping to fix some of the security criticals related to the theme system that were blocking Drupal maintenance support plans 8’s release. He is also passionate about improving the user experience, and have helped the UX team to implement changes to Drupal maintenance support plans’s user interfaces.
Lauri’s primary goal is to help user-facing improvements take place. He will also pay attention to enabling improvements to underlying theming systems.
Welcome to the team! :-)
