Reflections of Drupal Camp Chattanooga 2019

For years, community members from Chattanooga talked about their local camp. These community members routinely support other camps, through attendance, volunteerism, and by giving talks. It was our time to return the favor.

Hook 42 not only sponsored the event, but delivered a training and two sessions. From our team Jonathan and Adam attended, and they really enjoyed the time there.

All Aboard To Chattanooga

Hook 42 is headed to Tennessee for our next community event. Not only have we proudly sponsored Drupal Camp Chattanooga, you'll also find us doing a Gatsby.js training as well as giving talks about topics we hold near and dear to our hearts. Come say hello if you're there.

Community, Development and Leadership at DrupalCon 2019

It’s been almost a month since DrupalCon 2019. We can’t believe how time flies! While we were there, we had a variety of things going on at many different levels. Just as fast as the time since DrupalCon has flown past us, our time in Seattle felt like a tiny blip.

Summary of Work

Hook 42 has worked with Autodesk over many years for both Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 consulting and development. For Drupal 7, we audited the multilingual Drupal configuration and custom code for the Autodesk Knowledge Network and made recommendations for improvements. We were the "multilingual hotline" for Autodesk's developers to answer questions about configuring and customizing their multilingual features. We provided multilingual training at BADCamp which was attended by the Autodesk development team to jumpstart their project. We wrote a custom module to work around issues with the Entity Translation module to support Autodesk's multilingual content workflow.

For Drupal 8, we have been providing architectural guidance and development for a new site including hosting considerations, development workflow, site building best practices, module development, and front end theming. This Drupal 8 site was launched in October 2017. We continue to provide development services for both Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 websites.

BADCamp 2018 Trainings

We’re excited to be offering two training sessions at BADCamp this year! Both of them focus on widening the reach of the internet and Drupal. Accessibility and contribution are close to our hearts at Hook 42 as they both are great tools for making the web a more diverse and inclusive place. The best thing about both subjects? You don’t have to know everything to dive in and get started - starting where you are is a great way to move things forward.
