Door 6 reveals a sprouting plant to show new Drupal talent

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.

I particularly liked their use of LEGO as part of the selection process with a live building challenge as part of the talk. It’s a shame the recording is audio only, as it would have been great to see what the participants built.

I think it’s great to see audience engagement in talks, and fantastic to use hands on examples to really demonstrate their process.
