I was lucky enough to have volunteered at this weeks DrupalCon DC. As a non-developer I have to find other ways to give back to the community and this was a small way that I could do it. It was great to come face-to-face with the people who’s posts I read on forums, sites I visit or apps I use. In addition to meeting the people I was also able to touch the amazing aspect of a community who trusts its members to take care of the greater good. Here are some of the things that will stick with me:
- Registrations were sorted by first name
- No ID was required to pick up your badge
- Everyone who checked in was so thankful for my help in getting their badge and told me so
- I didn’t see a single person try to sneak in to a sold out conference with some silly story about why they should get in
Cool.
