David Strauss’s Experience

  • Permanent Member

    Drupal Association

    (Non-Profit Organization Management industry)

    February 2009Present (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.

    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.
