About this talk
This talk, presented by Greg Dunlap and Angie Byron, explores the evolving Drupal ecosystem, which has witnessed significant growth, powering 2% of the web and expanding its community from approximately 25,000 to nearly 1 million members in just five years. The speakers discuss the challenges and growing pains faced by the Drupal community, offering insights on maintaining cohesion while welcoming newcomers and navigating external influences from government and corporate entities. They also address key questions about the community's history, handling disagreements, the sustainability of growth without fragmentation, and the impact of implementing Drupal in large organizations. This session aims to provide valuable guidance for both passionate members and those skeptical about the open-source approach.
