Join us at Avanade’s new offices, 30 Fenchurch Street!

July’s meetup is the last in the series of community before we take a break in August and prepare to get things going again in September.

Our first speaker is Robert Castelo, long time contributor to open source web content management system Drupal. As well as being a key contributor to Drupal security, Robert has led the London and UK Drupal community since 2005, running meetups, delivering training, and consulting on large projects. Robert will describe his experiences of working in the community, why a community of users is vital for project success, and what newer communities can learn from those more established.

Our second speaker is Angus Fox who will talk about managing the politics of community. Angus helped organise the UK Twitter development community for over 10 years during which time both the Twitter community and Twitter company had strong, often different opinions on which direction to take. Angus will present his experiences of navigating the politics of company and community to try and please all the people all the time.
