About this talk
This talk, presented by Peter Wolanin and Larry Garfield, delves into the practical implications of engaging with Drupal as an open source platform. It explores the dual nature of Free and Open Source Software as both a development and social philosophy that fosters collaborative environments for better software creation. The speakers discuss the significance of the GNU General Public License (GPL) in promoting a trust-based economy within the tech community, as opposed to a fear-based one, and outline the advantages of Open Source development models compared to proprietary consulting practices. Attendees will gain insights into how to write code that adheres to open source principles, maintain good standing in the community, and negotiate contracts that benefit both individual developers and the wider open source ecosystem.
