Listen to what our last year volunteer for DrupalCon Lille: 

Anushri Kumari from OpenSense Labs joined The DropTimes for DrupalCon Lille 2023. She quotes,

"I embarked on my first international trip to Lille, completely on my own and without knowing anyone. Everything felt new and unfamiliar, but I saw volunteering at the event as a chance to connect with people and build relationships. By volunteering with The Drop Times, I had the unique opportunity to visit every booth, interview attendees, and truly engage with the community. This experience helped me form friendships and connections that I wouldn’t have made otherwise."

P.S. I also scored two bags of goodies, including a ton of t-shirts!

Our other volunteer, Binny Thomas from Axelerant had his contribution accepted at DrupalCon Lille 2023. He shares his memorable experience.

"I got in touch with the other Drupalers at the table and helped them run the automated tests for their core patch. The core patch was accepted; my name was also associated with it since I worked on it. One of the core maintainers was present at the venue, and with much fanfare, our patch was accepted and committed to upstream during a live session. Although my contribution was small and negligible, it was indeed a memorable event."

Where Your Support Matters:
