A lot happened in 2014. Here are some of the main things that I'd like to highlight:
## Joined the Drupal Association
This was the main thing for me this year, in May I left [Precedent](http://precedent.com) and joined the [Drupal Association](https://assoc.drupal.org). I work on the Engineering team, focused mainly on [Drupal.org](https://www.drupal.org) but I've also done some theming work on the DrupalCon [Amsterdam](http://amsterdam2014.drupal.org) and [Latin America](http://latinamerica2015.drupal.org) websites, and some pre-launch work on [Drupal Jobs](https://jobs.drupal.org).
Some of the tasks that I've worked on so far are:
* Fixing remaining issues from the Drupal.org Drupal 7 upgrade.
* Improving pages for [Supporting Partners](https://www.drupal.org/supporters/partners), [Technology Supporters](https://www.drupal.org/supporters/technology) and [Hosting Partners](https://www.drupal.org/supporters/hosting). These previously were manually updated pages using HTML tables, which are now dynamic pages built with [Views](https://www.drupal.org/project/views) using organisation nodes.
* Configuring human-readable paths for user profiles using [Pathauto](https://www.drupal.org/project/pathauto). Only a small change, but made a big difference to end-users.
* Migration of user data from profile values to fields, and various user profile improvements. This was great because now we can do things like reference mentors by their username and display their picture on your profile, as well as show lists of peope listing a user as their mentor. This, I think, adds a more personal element to Drupal.org because we can see the actual people and not just a list of names on a page.
I've started keeping a list of tasks that I've been involved with on my [Work](/work/) page, and will be adding more things as I work on them.
### Portland
I was able to travel to Portland, Oregon twice last year to meet with the rest of the Association staff. Both times I met new people and it was great to spend some work and social time with everyone, and it was great to have everyone together as a team.
## My First DrupalCamp

Attending this and [DrupalCon Prague](https://prague2013.drupal.org) in 2013 have really opened my eyes to the face-to-face side of the Drupal community, and I plan on attending a lot more Camps and Cons in the future.
## Joined the Drupal Association
In May, I started a new job working as a Developer for the [Drupal Association](https://assoc.drupal.org/about "About the Drupal Association"), working on [Drupal.org](https://www.drupal.org) where I was able to do some very interesting work.
I was also able to travel to Portland, Oregon, USA twice last year to meet with the rest of the Association staff. Both times I met new people and it was great to spend some work and social time with everyone, and it was great to have everyone together as a team.
## DrupalCon Amsterdam
I was also able to travel to Holland and attend [DrupalCon Amsterdam](https://amsterdam2014.drupal.org) along with other members of Association staff.
