Bio:
Jen Lampton has been building websites since 1997, and participating in Open Source communities since 2006. She currently maintains dozens of Open Source projects, and contributes to others should it be necessary for her work.
Jen has been an active member of the Drupal Open Source community for over a decade. She has delivered many presentations at conferences, including being a Featured Speaker at several DrupalCon events, and a keynote speaker at several Drupal camp events.
To support and grow the Drupal community, Jen also volunteered countless hours on local Drupal events. From 2007-2017 She served as one of the lead organizers for the Bay Area Drupal Camp (also known as BADCamp) -- the largest free Drupal event in the world. She also served as one of the lead organizers for DrupalCon San Francisco in 2010.
Jen Lampton spent several years as the Director of Drupal training at Chapter Three in San Francisco. In that role she developed Drupal workshop materials, and used them to train hundreds of people all across the US on how to use and extend Drupal.
Jen joined the Drupal Usability team after watching her students struggle with Drupal's administrative and editorial interfaces. She volunteered to assist with several studies on usability and accessibility, and helped make improvements based on results from those studies.
Jen Lampton served as a Drupal 8 core initiative lead for almost 2 years. In this role she worked with many fantastic contributors to change the Drupal theme engine to from PHPTemplate to Twig. Her desire to make this change came from watching her students struggle with the complexity of Drupal.
Jen Lampton decided to collaborate on a fork of Drupal shortly after Twig was committed to core. In spite of the changes to the theme system, the rest of Drupal continued to slip farther out of the grasps of the average web developer. Her focus has now shifted to working on Backdrop CMS.
