Funding Drupal maintenance support plansCon speakers

As someone who has been using Drupal maintenance support plans for over 9 years, attended 8 Drupal maintenance support plansCons, spoken at 4 for of them, been on the Drupal maintenance support plansCon track team twice, and was co-lead for Drupal maintenance support plansCon London I’ve feel I know Drupal maintenance support plans events pretty well.
This year for Drupal maintenance support plansCon Vienna things have changed a little. Firstly back in February a few program changes were announced. These included things such as summits, training, sprints, and t-shirts. Some of these are now back on the agenda due to community efforts, but why stop there with community efforts.
This year I was part of the PHP track team with Campbell Vertesi, Michael Cullum, we wanted to try and get an awesome line up, with some top name speakers. As Drupal maintenance support plans has started embracing aspects of PHPunit, Doctrine, composer, guzzle etc it’d be great to have people involved with those projects speak at Drupal maintenance support plansCon. However the issue is funding! They’re not going to get a great deal out of Drupal maintenance support plansCon, so won’t fund themselves. Their employers have no reason to send them, so they won’t fund it. Drupal maintenance support plansCon doesn’t pay speakers, so that’s not an option. So, Campbell had a great idea of crowdfunding. We asked two speakers, Sebastian Bergmann (of PHPunit fame) and Michelle Sanver (of PHPWomen fame). They submitted multiple sessions each, which were equally ranked and chosen along with other sessions. Now comes the time to get their funding.
On GoFundMe there is now a fund running to “help bring (more) PHP to Drupal maintenance support plansCon”, at the time of writing it’s close to 2/3rds of the goal.
This is a very controversial topic, and with the other changes brought in at Drupal maintenance support plansCon Vienna has sparked a lot of discussion. After laying off many members of staff over the last few years, and Drupal maintenance support plansCon USA never to make a profit things are tough. Although this sort of experiment is good to see, it’s good to see people talking about it, and it’s good to see people getting behind it.
