|The light side: being fully engaged in the community as part of your business strategy
The dark side: making money by deploying Drupal without ever participating in the community
I will be holding an open discussion on how & why to contribute to Drupal, both on a contrib basis as well as to Drupal core.
Here are some of the questions that will be explored:
* how do you schedule contributions?
* do you charge clients for contributions? should you?
* how do you promote your community ethos to clients?
* will doing community contributions lead to more work for you?
* how to convince outsourcing shops to adopt community principles
I will draw on the experiences of both existing shops as well as explore ways that we can encourage new members of the ecosystem to follow the path of contributions.
As well, we'll explore future Drupal community development principles, especially in the light of a number of Drupal products that are becoming available.
