As we all know, there’s a definite shortage of solid and experienced developers in the Drupal community. Thus it’s important for shop owners, project managers and team leads to ensure that we’re fostering a community that can attract, equip and retain good talent. Some of the questions we’ll be discussing in this session are: * How do you find and attract good talent? * How do you build a winning culture? What’s the recipe? * How do you maintain your culture if you have remote workers? * How do you nurture community contributions and yet balance billable hours? * How can you motivate your team members to do there best over the long haul? * What are the main reasons people leave their positions and how can it be prevented? Dave Terry, partner at mediacurrent in Atlanta will be joining me in answering some of the above questions and tackling a few others.
