The objectives are to foster the digital culture, which is supported by a strong digital leadership, as well as an early involvement of the end- users. This will help to drive the digital transformation through customer- centricity and innovation, while also fostering collaboration among the colleagues and other people working with Drupal. Furthermore, this community of practice will enforce interoperability, in line with the European Interoperability Framework. Finally, the CoP will serve as platform for Open- Source advocacy, reusing solutions and co- creating as well as the reduction of time- to market and maintenance costs through cloud technologies.
The leaders and co- leaders will focus on maintaining the health of the community by:
- Keeping things simple and informal
- Fostering trust
- Ensuring the rapid flow of communication and shared awareness
- Increasing the shared body of knowledge developed in the CoP
The Drupal CoP is committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive, and respectful environment for all participants. It aims at creating a space for knowledge sharing and collaboration. Keep in mind that this community is supposed to be a hierarchy- free learning zone, allowing creativity and flexibility.
