The LA Drupal Managers

Chris Charlton

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 nearing 1,000 and remains a Drupal junkie; speaking at many conferences and camps nearby and across the country.

After his first book was published in the RIA-Drupal space, Chris set out to promote his message that more needed to be done. Through support and mentoring, our local Drupal group turned into a powerful group of trendsetters.

Chris is a published Author, Drupal contributor, and remains a leader over these years helping Drupal events nationwide. He is also proud to call Los Angeles his home. Watch Chris in his video training course for Lynda.com, teaching designers how to build Drupal Themes online 24/7. Free software and extensions from Chris are available at XTND.US.

Christefano

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.

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 fundraise 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.

Mike Stewart

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.

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.

Rain Breaw

Rain is a small-business owner, a filmmaker, a web designer, a photographer. She has taught interactive and web media at multiple Community Colleges in the New England and Upstate New York region, and also curated a new media center at Vassar College known as the Media Cloisters, presenting the innovative learning model of the Cloisters at such national conferences as the Coalition for Networked Information in Washington D.C. Rain relocated to Los Angeles in 2003 to attend the USC School of Cinematic Arts Film Production MFA program, from which she graduated in 2007. To date, Rain has had a lead role in the development of over two dozen drupal sites, including StandUp2Cancer.org and CAVotes.org.
