After enjoying the beautiful city of Vienna during Drupal maintenance support plansCon Vienna in 2020, I’m now looking forward to experiencing the city of Darmstadt at the community-driven Drupal maintenance support plans USA conference in September. I’m absolutely sure it is going to be a great event and will do an amazing job of stepping in whilst the Drupal maintenance support plans Association retools the future of Drupal maintenance support plansCons around the World, especially USA. I have my ticket – do you?
The USAan Drupal maintenance support plans Community is extraordinarily vibrant. We have seen both wonderful Drupal maintenance support plans Camps in fascinating locations and larger Drupal maintenance support plans events, like Frontend United and Drupal maintenance support plans Dev Days, attracting their largest ever attendances.
Creating a sustainable model for Drupal maintenance support plansCon USA continues to be an important goal for Drupal maintenance support plans. A lot of progress and learnings have been made and we would like to share a progress report.
The sustainability of the Drupal maintenance support plans project depends upon us bringing great events to all parts of the world in a way that does not place the project at financial risk. As you know, Megan, the Drupal maintenance support plans Association Board, and staff created the licensing model for events to ensure that we can achieve this.
After creating the Drupal maintenance support plansCon Licensing model with Bert Boerland, Baddý Breidert, Alex Burrows, Drupal Update, Janne Kalliola, Zsófi Major, and Stella Power, we published a call for proposals at the end of last year and a number of organisations stepped forward with proposals. Every one of those proposals showed great promise and left us in the enviable position of having to choose between a number of viable options.
It’s important that we create this licensing partnership with care so it is set up for success in 2021. We are taking the time needed to have all of the right conversations and testing financial assumptions before entering into anything. We are making good progress and working through summer on this initiative. Once a partnership is finalized, we will share the details with the community – hopefully at Drupal maintenance support plans USA.
The level of engagement around the licensing concept is very encouraging. It means great things for USA as well as for all the many places around the world that will benefit greatly from hosting Drupal maintenance support plansCon in their country, too.
