![]() ![]() To gain insights into building software communities at scale in open source, Michael Meyers (Managing Director at Tag1) and I ( Preston So, Editor in Chief at Tag1 and author of Decoupled Drupal in Practice) recently kicked off a Tag1 Team Talks miniseries with the Drupal Association's engineering team, represented by Tim Lehnen (Chief Technology Officer at the Drupal Association) and Narayan Newton (Chief Technology Officer at Tag1), to examine all the ways in which the DA keeps the Drupal community ticking. Furthermore, we contributed to help #DrupalCares reach its $100,000 goal and so that any donation you make is doubled in value. I’m proud to announce that we are expanding this commitment by 50% to 120 hours a month of pro-bono work, from our most senior resources, to help the DA offset some of its operating expenses. For years we have donated at least eighty hours a month to support the DA and infrastructure and tooling. We are putting our money where our mouth is. As part of the #DrupalCares campaign, we at Tag1 Consulting implore organizations that use Drupal, companies that provide Drupal services, and even individuals who make their living off Drupal development to contribute in some shape or form to the Drupal Association in this time of need. ![]() With the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Drupal Association is in dire financial straits due to losses sustained from DrupalCon North America (one of the largest sources of funding) having to be held as a virtual event this year. This runs across the spectrum of software localizations, version updates, security advisories, dependency metadata, and other "cloud services" like the Drupal CI system that empower developers to keep building on Drupal. But it's less common knowledge that the Drupal Association is actively engaged in Drupal development and maintains some of the most important elements of the Drupal project. Many of us know the Drupal Association as the primary organizer of the global DrupalCon conference twice a year. Behind the scenes is the Drupal Association, the non-profit organization responsible for enabling it to thrive by architecting and introducing new tooling and infrastructure to support the needs of the community and ecosystem. Drupal is one of the largest and most active open-source software projects in the world. ![]()
