Community

Raincity Studios is committed to our local and global industry development

And we aim to be decent citizens in the world at large. Thusly, we actively participate and sponsor conferences and events celebrating international open source culture in addition to contributing modules and code snippets back into the big Drupal brain.

Drupal Contributions

Drupal is community-built and Raincity Studios is part of the community - thus we are proud to dedicate time and brain power to better the core technologies for collective benefit.

Raincity is an active participant in the Drupal Association and are pitching in with Drupal.org - See also: Drupal Planet.

Why do we trust in Drupal? Let us count the ways . Be sure to enjoy Drupal Drops for tips, factoids and resources in bite-sized portions.

Drupal Debug Days

Thursdays afternoons, we set aside the client work and switch our collective brain-power to making Drupal better. On these Drupal Debug Days, we test and submit patches, teach others how to pitch in, and blog about what we get up to.

Participating in the Culture

You've learned that we love doing this stuff and blurring the line between work, play and art. Geeking out, traveling around, meeting remarkable folks, stirring the technology pot, making social media, and sharing it with the people - yup, that's the way we do it.

Free Wi-fi for the People

We are a wi-fi node on Vancouver.Freethenet.ca meshed network - this means you can surf unhindered whilst in Gastown.

Browse Better

Maintained by the Mozilla Foundation, we think Firefox is a fine browser and encourage you to SpreadFirefox by participating and sharing your opinion on how to make Firefox even better.

Conferences, presentations, classes, workshops, parties, geekfest, confabs, ... whatever ya got, Raincity is participating, organizing, catalyzing and pitching in where we can.
