Looks chaotic and dangerous for an outsider, but does actually make sense to the people doing the work
That’s half of it - the other half is the people
The people effect the code which effects all the people using it, who in turn effect the code...
Without the people the code dies on the vine

drupal.org (forums and issue queues)
- the issue queue is the place where stuff happens - not just for code
groups.drupal.org (regional and topical groups)
IRC, it’s geeky but well worth checking out
Camps (like this one!)
Meetups
Build relationships, stay connected and keep context for online interaction
When you encounter them, remember:
- everyone has a bad day sometimes
- jerks don’t define the entire community
You don’t need to be an “expert” to have an impact
If everyone talks and no one does, then it simply won’t happen. So do it.
“defined leaders” : Dries, core maintainer and docs, infra, security leads
lots of groups and teams just get together, define things and do the work
remember this is all volunteer and you can be involved in what interests you
Diverse and passionate.
Even the “rockstars” are just people and you can call them on their bullshit.
Keep the humanity of the work in mind.
Fitting in to the community is being human and building relationships
