Getting involved


There are many ways to get involved with the Drupal community. Even if you are new, you can help others by answering questions in forums, groups, and IRC. If you are a designer or developer, write a cool theme or module and contribute it. If you know another language, translate text and submit it to localize.drupal.org.

Most communities have a local user group, so you can meet up with other Drupal users face-to-face. Then, of course, there are the fun DrupalCons and camps that happen regularly throughout the year. To learn more about getting involved, check out drupal.org/getting-involved.
