David Strauss’s Experience

Permanent Member

Drupal Association

(Non-Profit Organization Management industry)

February 2009 — Present (10 months)

To become a Permanent Member, I was elected by a 2/3 vote of existing Drupal Association Permanent Members, a body comprised of Drupal's leading contributors, both in software and other forms of support.

As a Permanent Member, I vote in board elections and several other decisions, and I generally serve as an official representative of the Association for "getting things done," especially for supporting the Association's CiviCRM and Drupal.org infrastructure.
Co-founder

April 2006 — Present (3 years 8 months)
Information Systems Manager

Mark Strama for State Representative

(Information Technology and Services industry)

May 2004 — March 2008 (3 years 11 months)

I personally managed MarkStrama.com, much of the campaign's field data, and our fundraising data. I generated the campaign's ethics filings in 2004 and for most of the 2006 campaign.

This is not a current position for me because the campaign became a Four Kitchens client in early 2008. I still perform the campaign's work through Four Kitchens.
