Today was my last day working at [Precedent](http://www.precedent.com). Next
|
|
|
|
|
week, I'll be starting my
|
|
|
|
|
[new job](https://assoc.drupal.org/node/18923 'Drupal.org Developer') at the
|
|
|
|
|
[Drupal Association](http://assoc.drupal.org) working on Drupal's home -
|
|
|
|
|
[Drupal.org](http://www.drupal.org).

I was at Precedent for just over a year and had the opportunity to work on
|
|
|
|
|
several Drupal projects from project leading to ad-hoc module and theme
|
|
|
|
|
development, including my largest Drupal build to date.

I was also lucky enough to go to
|
|
|
|
|
[DrupalCon Prague](http://prague2013.drupal.org) as well as
|
|
|
|
|
[DrupalCamp London](http://2014.drupalcamplondon.co.uk).

I was able to [contribute some code](https://drupal.org/project/eventsforce)
|
|
|
|
|
back into the community and encourage other team members to do the same.

It was good to be able to introduce some new tools like
|
|
|
|
|
[Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com), [Puppet](http://www.puppetlabs.com),
|
|
|
|
|
[SASS](http://www.sass-lang.com) and [Compass](http://www.compass-style.org)
|
|
|
|
|
into the team. I was pleased to introduce and champion the
|
|
|
|
|
[Git Flow](http://danielkummer.github.io/git-flow-cheatsheet 'Git Flow Cheat Sheet')
|
|
|
|
|
branching model, which them became the standard approach for all Drupal
|
|
|
|
|
projects, and hopefully soon all development projects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Working for the Drupal Association and on Drupal.org was an opportunity that I
|
|
|
|
|
couldn't refuse, and is certainly going to be a fun and interesting challenge. I
|
|
|
|
|
can't wait to get started!
