Drupal maintenance support plans: Getting Paid to Do What I LoveI’ve been planning and working toward this moment for long time. The latest Webform feature is not for the community, it is for me. This new feature, which I’m calling “Promotions,” provides me with compensation to do what I love: collaborate and build free software that is used by 1000’s of websites.Getting paid to write open source software is a known challenge. I’ve been exploring many options and researching how other open source projects promote and charge for add-ons, support, and additional services.Promise: Free of ChargePlease understand I have no intention of ever charging for add-ons.
