Speaking drupal: a cultural linguistic adventureJackie Wolf
Session at Drupal MidCamp in Chicago 2016: "Are you now or have ever you been new to Drupal and the Drupal community? Entering into any new community requires some grasp of the language used in that community. This session takes an ethnolinguistic approach to understanding the Drupal Community and presents an analysis that can act as a guide to newcomers as well as seasoned Drupalers who are fascinated by the way we talk about a thing shapes the thing. In particular, we will look at the grammar of Drupal, the use and development of Drupal slang, and how to communicate effectively within the Drupal community."

He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
