Wow, it’s been almost 4 years since I’ve blogged. Certainly not the first break I’ve had in many years of having a blog, but this was a good long one. Since I last blogged I’ve been pretty busy and haven’t really felt like trying to articulate the normalcy of my life. For a quick catch-up,… Continue reading Catching Up
Hello. I’m Addison and you have stumbled onto my little space where I play with the web and talk to the ether. I go by add1sun pretty much everywhere on the web. I’m an American from Maryland but I now live permanently in Copenhagen, Denmark and spend winters in Oaxaca, Mexico. My roots are firmly… Continue reading About me
A few months ago I ran for, and won, a seat on the Drupal Association (DA) Board as an At-Large Director. I’d like to share my journey with everyone, both to provide another look into the work that the board does, and to understand what it’s like to be a new board member. I’ve now… Continue reading Getting Started as a Board Director
A week ago I stepped up and nominated myself for the Drupal Association (DA) At-large Board position. This wasn’t a decision I made lightly, and I’m very excited to see so many other people have nominated themselves as well. There are 24 people up for the vote, which bodes well for a strong community. I… Continue reading Drupal Association Board Elections Are Important
So rocktreesky is finally running on Drupal 7. I upgraded the site a few weeks ago and thought I’d share my experience.

I’m an Ubuntu gal so I had to choose between the LTS (Long Term Service) or… Continue reading Setting up a new server
In the past few weeks I have been building myself up to get back on track with my role as Doc Lead in the Drupal community. I’ve been off radar for quite a while now (since last fall) and I’m finally getting my feet under me to tackle the work of docs again. In the… Continue reading Spreading the love and doing the work
It has been a while since I’ve been on radar, but with Drupal 7 fast approaching and Drupal living in the White House, we need to keep focus on one the keys to Drupal domination: documentation. Here is a little status update on where the Drupal docs world is these days and what’s coming up… Continue reading Next steps for Drupal domination
The top priority in the Drupal documentation roadmap that was published earlier this summer was to reorganize the information architecture (IA) of the handbooks to make them easier to use and maintain. Becca Scollan volunteered to take the lead and she has been researching and building out a plan of attack. We are now at… Continue reading Drupal handbooks IA work begins
Drupal 7 is coming and it has a ton of UI changes with the D7UX lovefest that has been going on, in addition to a some very different APIs. This time around it’d be extra nice if we had up-to-date documentation when our beloved Drupal 7 hits the streets. Few want to write it, but… Continue reading Drupal 7 docs depend on you
