Drupal has passionate coders. We need more passionate users.

I just took 30+ minutes to watch Kathy Sierra speaking at a WordCamp SF event. It's worth listening to.

The Drupal community could certainly stand to take some of these principles to heart. Particularly what she says from 7:50 - 8:30. To date, most Drupal technology has not enabled end users to get above the "Suck threshhold" - much less the Passionate User level. We've done a great job getting programmers there - even novice programmers; but that's not enough.

The Drupal.org redesign looks like it's beginning to take the step to helping end-users get there.

A typical day at Acquia

Lots of video conversations. Jay gets goofy occasionally. Jeff runs a timer to keep us (me) from going down too many rabbit holes. Dries wears headphones to keep from driving Karlijn nuts.

Solving the problems of the world....

What do we use to accomplish this? Acrobat connect. Couldn't live without it. (Unsolicited ad for Adobe. Send endorsement checks to Acquia, Adobe....)
