Ivan Boothe (rootwork)

I am the creative director of Rootwork.org, working with nonprofits and community groups as a Drupal developer and online organizer. I've been developing in Drupal since 2005, in the waning days of version 4.5.

I was the Drupalcon Portland frontend track chair in 2013, the Drupalcon Austin frontend global chair in 2014, and helped coordinate Drupalcon LA scholarships and grants in 2015.

I've been very active in the nonprofit tech and Drupal communities, long helped co-organize monthly Drupal for nonprofits and social change discussions and presented at the Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit, Nonprofit Tech Conference Drupal Day and the BADCamp Nonprofit Summit.

I started the Philadelphia Drupal group, and have helped organize and present at numerous "Drupaldelphia" camps. In 2012, I moved to Portland, Oregon, where I helped organize the Drupal-adjacent Devsigner Conference and presented at the Portland user group.

Because my focus is on nonprofits and small community groups, I've ended up specializing in theming and frontend development, as functionality needs are often met with existing modules.

I've attended code and documentation sprints at many Drupalcons and camps and help out in the queue when I can. (For instance, I wrote much of the Views 2 Theming handbook page way back at the Drupalcon DC 2009 doc sprint.) I'm often on #drupal-support to help out others and ask my own questions.
