I used to work for the Drupal Association<\/a> - the non-profit organisation that supports the Drupal project, organises DrupalCon, and maintains Drupal.org.<\/p>\n\n

I improved Drupal.org, fixed Drupal 8 release blockers, improved user profiles, helped make the Drupal.org theme responsive, and assisted with new websites like Drupal Events and Jobs.<\/p>\n\n

At DrupalCon, one of the keynote speakers said, \"The Drupal Association is a small but mighty team\".<\/p>\n\n

On the Association staff page<\/a>, there are 15 staff members listed, including only five people in the Engineering team.<\/p>\n\n

I've been in the Drupal community for a long time and worked for various companies that make money from Drupal - a free and open-source project.<\/p>\n\n

However, it's \"free as in puppies\". You can have the puppy for free, but it costs time and money to look after it.<\/p>\n\n

There are programs like the Supporting Partners program which provide funding to the DA, but, at least when I worked there, a large amount of income was from event revenue from DrupalCon.<\/p>\n\n

Here's the thing<\/h2>\n\n

As someone who works mainly on Drupal consulting and development projects, I'm pledging to commit a fixed percentage from my Drupal-related services and products to the Drupal Association, including my new team coaching<\/a> service.<\/p>\n\n

If the Association or Drupal weren't there, I wouldn't be able to provide those products and services, so it's in my interest to support the Drupal project and the Drupal Association. Maybe others will do the same.<\/p>\n\n
