To help celebrate the tenth  anniversary of the Drupal project, I decided to take a pulse of the  culture and community. I found 10 people at the conference and asked  them to share their Drupal experiences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tiffany Farriss &#8211; Chicago, IL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tiffany has been using Drupal for five years and is the DrupalCon  Chicago Chair as well as president of palantir.net. Her company provides  solutions for education, corporate, and cultural clients.<\/p>\n<p>On the culture of Drupal, she says: The community is doing a good job  of addressing the challenges of growth. We&#8217;re able to maintain our  welcoming nature while still having opportunities for small group  collaboration. We are still trying to make it special for those that are  just starting in the community at both big and small events. Here at  DrupalCon we have a number of smaller \u201cevents\u201d within the larger  conference. The challenge is to accommodate for unlimited growth in the  community.<\/p>\n<p>One work in progress that came out of the Drupal 7 release was how  the community embraced the need for design and UX. We had to rationalize  the coder ethos while respecting the design process. It&#8217;s incomplete,  but in progress.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Read the other 9 stories on opensource.com.\" href=\"http:\/\/opensource.com\/life\/11\/3\/pulse-drupal-community-after-10-years\" target=\"_blank\">Read the other 9 stories on opensource.com.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Believe it or not, Drupal is turning 10 years old in 2011.
