Kelly Albrecht: We Sold Drupal to the World, Now We Must Support It

Drupal Nights Hosted by BioRAFT, Cambridge MA

Monthly camp style talk - 3rd Thursday of the month. Learn, network, eat, & enjoy! Learn more at drupalnights.org.

Official Event Announcement

Drupal, over the past several years, has largely been a technology solution that almost sells itself. From huge organizations (like NYSE, NBC, Sony, Pfizer) to entire governments to well established educational institutions (such as Yale, MIT, UMASS), much of the world has standardized on Drupal as their solution for millions of websites.

As an open source community, we've built an amazing solution. The world has adopted it, and now we must support it.

This presentation discusses some reasons this has become the case, as well as the issues we now face due to our success with Drupal, and what we must do to preserve the vision and sustain the success that got us here.

Drupal Nights are FREE events!  Let us know you are coming so we know how much food to order.
