Today we hand over to AmyJune Hineline to tell us about the presentation behind today’s door…
EditTogether brings real-time collaborative editing, the familiar experience many people know from Google Docs, directly into Drupal while keeping full control of content in the hands of site owners.

At DrupalCon Vienna Matt Glaman of Acquia and Mike Herchel of Dripyard talked about how to get contributions from the initial idea stage, and bring them to fruition.As we enter the second week of our Advent calendar, we welcome Rachel Lawson, who recommended today’s talk from DrupalCamp England:

Rachel says:
Building a Drupal community isn’t easy, events like DrupalCon and DrupalCamps help hold communities together, so when events like Covid happen, it can be hard to keep things going, and to rebuild afterwards.
An important aspect of building a sustainable community is bringing new people into Drupal organisations, and helping them to embrace the community. Today Jess Vetsuypers and Eline Van Coillie from Dropsolid talk about finding and retaining new talent.
They discuss some interesting approaches in both finding and evaluating potential team members, and then ensuring they integrate well into your organisation.
At this year’s most recent DrupalCon in Nara, Japan, Gábor Hojtsy brought the core of Drupal back into focus.

An important aspect of every website project is accessibility, and an important part of that is giving your images meaningful “alt” text to describe their contents.
