For the purposes of this post, however, we looked only at the issue contributions captured by the credit system on. Additionally, we acknowledge that parts of Drupal are developed on GitHub and that credits might get lost when those contributions are moved to. These activities are not currently captured by the credit system. There are other activities - for instance, sponsoring events, promoting Drupal, providing help and mentoring - important to the long-term health of the Drupal project. It is important to note that contributing to the issues on is not the only way to contribute.
#BLACKMESH DRUPAL HOSTING CODE#
These are primarily code contributions but also includes some (but not all) of the work on design, translations, documentation, etc.
#BLACKMESH DRUPAL HOSTING PATCH#
You can see that jamadar worked on this patch as a volunteer, but also as part of his day job working for TATA Consultancy Services on behalf of their customer, Pfizer.ĭ's credit system captures all the issue activity on. Maintainers of Drupal themes and modules can award issues credits to people who help resolve issues with code, comments, design, and more.Ī screenshot of an issue comment on. In the spring of 2015, after proposing ideas about giving credit and discussing various approaches at length, added the ability for people to attribute their work to an organization or customer in the issue queues. Nevertheless, in Drupal's spirit of always striving to do better, we will also highlight areas where our community can and should do better. We will show that the Drupal project is a healthy project with a diverse community of contributors.
#BLACKMESH DRUPAL HOSTING HOW TO#
We will illustrate that the Drupal community is far ahead in understanding how to sustain and scale the project. We examined commit data to help understand who develops Drupal, how much of that work is sponsored, and where that sponsorship comes from. We ( Dries Buytaert is the founder and project lead of Drupal and co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Acquia and Matthew Tift is a Senior Developer at Lullabot and Drupal 8 configuration system co-maintainer) believe that the Drupal community has a shared responsibility to build Drupal and that those who get more from Drupal should consider giving more. Notable exceptions are the Linux kernel, Debian, Apache, Drupal, and WordPress, which have foundations, multiple corporate sponsors and many contributors that help these projects scale. Like OpenSSL, most Open Source projects fail to scale their resources.
In 2014, security researchers discovered an important security bug that exposed millions of websites. Despite its importance, the entire OpenSSL development team is relatively small, consisting of 11 people, 10 of whom are volunteers. A prime example is OpenSSL, which plays a critical role in securing the internet. Scaling Open Source projects in a sustainable manner is difficult. There exist millions of Open Source projects today, but many of them aren't sustainable. An updated version of this article is available at Who sponsors Drupal development? (2016-2017 edition)) (This article, co-authored with Dries Buytaert, the founder and project lead of Drupal, was cross-posted on, , and.
