@matthewtift.bsky.social captured the quieter side of #DrupalCon Chicago - the Quiet Room, the ten-second pause Dries borrowed from Fred Rogers, and why slowing down mid-conference might be the most useful thing you do. A lovely read.

Our team had an incredible time at #DrupalCon in Chicago this week! 🤝

We loved connecting with attendees to explore practical ways to strengthen accessibility across the Drupal environment to ensure greater visibility, smarter action, and better digital experiences.

It's the final day of #DrupalConChicago — and it might be the most important one.

Contribution day is where the community shows up and does the work. Whether you're a seasoned contributor or doing it for the first time, today is for you.

I can’t believe I started an initiative today (and yesterday).

Sometimes you just have to push the button. Like when sending an email and slowly dropping your index finger down into the Return or Enter key while making grimacing noises.

Heard today from someone seeking to get more involved for the first time.

> It's easy to feel lost and not understand where you should be.

Inclusion like organizing #DrupalCon in a US state which at least since 2023 April is known for not welcoming LGBTQ visitors.
