DrupalCons happen periodically at different places in the world. They're similar to a DrupalCamp but longer, bigger, and often include other elements like summits, trainings, and contribution sprints. Volunteers at the event help make sure it goes smoothly for all attendees.

Impact: 

The main goal of a DrupalCon is knowledge sharing among the community -- essentially, you’re getting the community together to help each other learn. It can also be a chance for community members to get to know each other in informal social events, and work together on projects that benefit the Drupal project or the community.

Accountable for: 
  • Signing up for task in a time slot
  • Reading background materials about the task you chose
  • Showing up at the right place and the right time
  • Doing the assigned task
  • Being flexible: if the DrupalCon really needs help with something else at your chosen time, be willing to do that instead of the task you chose
How to get started: 

As each DrupalCon is announced, look for requests for volunteers, or message DrupalCon on Twitter. You can also often volunteer on-site at the registration or help desk.
