Chris Charlton, LA Drupal Manager & Lead Event Organizer

Chris helped grow the Drupal vibe in Los Angeles. Our meetups are also popular networking nights. Originating with less than 100 members, Chris has pushed membership above 600 and remains a Drupal junkie; speaking at many conferences and camps nearby and across the country. Through support and mentoring, our local Drupal group turned into a powerful group of trendsetters.

Chris is an author, Drupal contributor, and has been a leader over the years helping many Drupal events nationwide, and is proud to call Los Angeles his home.

Christefano, LA Drupal Manager & Lead Event Organizer

Christefano has been an LA Drupal manager since 2008 and is one of the lead DrupalCamp LA 2010 organizers. He is a frequent presenter at the LA Drupal meetups and is co-presenting the popular Professional Staging and Deployment session again this year.

As LA Drupal’s self-appointed Director of Special Projects, Christefano recently co-produced LA Drupal’s Git with Drupal 7 event, which combined a Git bootcamp with a Drupal 7 code sprint. Christefano also volunteers his time to help run and maintain the drupalcampla.com, ladrupal.org and groups.drupal.org/la infrastructure and helps his co-managers fund raise and promote Drupal events all over Southern California.

In addition to his work in LA Drupal, Christefano is a Drupal core contributor and a founding member of the Santa Barbara and Drupal Fit groups. He is CTO and co-founder of Exaltation of Larks, a Drupal shop with offices in Los Angeles and Boston.

Mike Stewart, LA Drupal Manager & Lead Event Organizer

Mike has helped LA Drupal grow by organizing meetups, lab sessions, and video archives of each meeting. He is an open source fan and has promoted Drupal & other FOSS projects at various events such as SCaLE & LinuxWorld, and of course Drupalcon participation.

Based on Crystal Williams design, Mike themed the 2008 Drupal Camp Los Angeles web site, and supported camp operations to help things and people get where they were needed.

Mike has been involved with local Drupal events for years and is always open to new business opportunities that mesh well with his family lifestyle as a full-time dad and not quite full time Drupaller. Hit him up if your need help in a less than full-time capacity.

Nicole began using Drupal a bit more than a year ago and has helped breathe new life into the LA Drupal user community.
