Anna Mykhailova is going to DrupalCon, and we love that for her and for us! She brings a thoughtful perspective to every conversation, and we know the week will give her plenty to explore, question, and bring back to the team. And as a team spread across the Americas, we’re always glad when folks get the chance to be together in person. Here’s hoping for good conversations, fresh insights, and a little inspiration from Chicago' architecture, from one builder to another.
Kalamuna
Kalamuna helps transform mission-driven organizations by empowering them with strategy, design, and the technology they need to increase their impact
One of the best things about DrupalCon is the way good ideas travel. Yuri Seki is making the 15 hour trip all the way from Brazil to swap notes with the community, explore what’s next in Drupal, and bring fresh thinking back with him.
This is a man who once endeavored to find the best slice in Rio de Janeiro. We’re sure Chicago will send him home with radical new opinions about pizza.
Somebody, please also make sure he tries a Chicago dog!
Bob McDonald is going to DrupalCon and he'll be in Chicago for the first time!
We’re excited for the conversations, the learning, and whatever ideas he brings back with him. Food pics would be great, too. Let's see how deep a deep dish actually is, Bob! 😋
HBD to Anya Mykhailova! 🦊
In this imagined scene, Anya teaches a fox to code. It just feels right. Even the cleverest fox has more to learn. Her leadership isn’t about proving brilliance. It’s about nurturing it in others.
Like the fox in The Little Prince, Anya reminds us that what we build deserves care, patience, and responsibility because people are at the heart of everything we do.
Anya, may your year be full of elegant systems, bold questions, and a little everyday magic!
Ever step into a maze with no signs, no directories, and no clear path forward? That’s what a web page feels like when headings are used incorrectly.
Headings tell screen readers how to interpret a page. They help users scan and decide whether content feels navigable or discombobulated.
At DrupalCon Chicago, @mikemccaffrey will share practical site-building tips for accessible page content.

Most enrollment problems aren’t marketing problems. They’re experience problems. Your website gives prospective students a sense of what it'll feel like to attend your school.

Happy Birthday to @mallis, our mon capitaine!
From AI to analog, URL to IRL and back again, Andrew takes in the horizon while zooming in on the details that matter.
Under his care, we’ve helped institutions advance missions and built platforms that put people at the heart of everything we do.
Cheers to another year of enlightened thinking, joyful living, and a better internet! 🎉

Catch GitLab CI failures before GitLab CI does.
Bob McDonald is sharing a ready-to-use configuration at Florida DrupalCamp so you can run the same CI checks locally before hitting Drupal.org’s pipelines. If you’re tired of pushing code, waiting on CI, and then finding out you missed something small, this session will save you time and frustration.

Happy Kalaversary, Bob 🎉
As our Drupal Practice Lead, Bob turns big ideas into sturdy architecture. His dedicated craftsmanship, coupled with his woodworker's instincts, shows up in his digital handiwork. Clean joinery. Seamless integrations. Structures that let the whole team shine.
Bravo, Bob. We're stronger because you're here. 🩷
We endorse the United Nations Open Source Principles as a practical framework for how public institutions can build digital systems that are resilient, accountable, and accessible.
When done well, open source supports cross-border collaboration, reduces vendor lock-in, and keeps public digital infrastructure aligned with the public good.
Does the internet ever feel too loud? For neurodivergent users, that overload can be the difference between staying and leaving.
Michelle Balge shares a UX design perspective through a neurodivergent lens, resulting in 7 practical pillars for designing digital spaces that feel calmer, clearer, and more inclusive.
Happy Kalaaversary, Andrea!
You help turn Kalamuna into a community through small, steady practices. Our 1:1s. Our team dynamics. The unseen magic of how we see, speak, and listen.
That culture radiates outward into our client relationships and our broader community. When something frays, you help us repair. Thank you for all that you do. We're better because you're here.
Just a lil humble brag about our team showing up to a meeting color coordinated. Nobody sent a memo, but everybody got it. Different time zones. Separate roles. Same wavelength.
Starting the year off in sync and ready to collaborate. It’s so fun working with this crew. 🩷
Happy Birthday, Kristin!
A fairy godmother wields magic to break down barriers and open opportunities. They're never really in the spotlight, yet always playing an integral role. Without them, there'd be no story. That's you, Kristin. We'd lose the plot without you. Thanks for all that you do.
May your year overflow with fulfilled wishes, dazzling launches, and every day magic!
Happy Birthday to Sean Lehane 🎉
Associate Director of Projects and master of perpetual motion.
Sean translates a lifelong love of speed into precision, collaboration, and aerodynamic execution. Whether guiding work on 511.org or leading complex launches, he keeps teams aligned and momentum high.
Here’s to smooth roads, green lights, and another year of launching great work forward.
Happy Kalaversary, Mariam!🎉
Mariam continues to set the standard for how good work gets done. How something is built matters just as much as the outcome, and it shows in everything she touches.
Mariam consistently does things the right way, and she brings fresh ideas to the table with care, rigor, and imagination. The result is work that’s not just correct, but considered.
Cheers to four years, Mariam, and to all the thoughtful sorcery still ahead ✨
Happy Birthday, Gremy!
Today we’re celebrating the depth, focus, and caffeinated curiosity you brought to everything you touched. The work flowed better because of it, shaped by collaboration, shared wins, and thoughtful perspective.
Here’s to carrying what’s been built forward and stepping into what comes next with clarity and warmth. Wishing you abundance and great energy in the year ahead. ☕️🌊
Happy Birthday, Mariam! 🎉
Developer, wizard, and tactical problem-solver who always stays several moves ahead.
Whether she’s conjuring code or outsmarting furry friends, Mariam brings focus, kindness, and quiet brilliance to everything she does.
We wish you a year full of winning positions, smooth deployments, and everyday magic!
Happy 1-year Kalaversary Chad Capellman 🎉
Chad was voted by his peers for our “Symphony Soloist” award, honoring his ability to bring fresh perspectives to our processes and connect the dots across the agency. He can step up and lead while remaining perfectly coordinated with the band.
A team member said:
“Chad is a true idea alchemist, blending heart, intuition, and strategy into everything he touches.”
Thank you, Chad, for all that you do!
Bonjour Paris! The Drupal AI Summit yesterday was invigorating! Our sincere thanks to all the organizers, speakers, volunteers, and attendees for making this such a great event!
@mallis presented on AI-assisted migrations in Drupal and grabbed a selfie to mark the moment before roaming the wide boulevards, warm cafés, and electric conversations that make connecting with the Drupal community so rewarding.
We look forward to seeing you at the next event. À bientôt! ✌
