[Dmitri Gaskin](http://twitter.com/dmitrig01) ([dmitrig01](http://drupal.org/user/47566)) is a 14-year old who has been involved with Drupal for the past 4 1/2 years. He talks about how he got into Drupal when he was in the fourth grade, and he recaps some of the architectural discussions around the overhaul of the block system for Drupal 8 that were happening during DrupalCon San Francisco. Dmitri helped lead and facilitate the brainstorming session that is continuing over in the [Butler](http://groups.drupal.org/butler) group on g.d.o.

Gaskin also talks a little about what [Drush Make](http://drupal.org/project/drush_make) is and how it's become an essential part of every major Drupal distribution.

For more information on Drush, be sure to watch Dmitri's [DrupalCon presentation on Drush](http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/drush).
