DrupalCon Sydney 2013: It's not "their Drupal" - It's OUR Drupal

This talk explores the evolution of the Drupal community, highlighting its growth from a small group of enthusiasts to a global network that hosts events almost weekly. The speaker discusses the unique duality within the community, contrasting the idealistic "tree-huggers" with the pragmatic "capitalists," and examines how these groups coexist to foster collaboration in the Drupalsphere. Additionally, the necessity of the Drupal Association is addressed, along with its role in supporting developers and enhancing community structure. The speaker, Mortendk, shares insights from his extensive experience in organizing Drupal events and emphasizes the importance of personal connections in nurturing community spirit and engagement, while still valuing individual participation in core development.
