More Drutopia thoughts- values, justice, collaboration
Values, based on facts:
There are massive
We are not ashamed of our empathy. (borrowing from Kathleen Murtagh)
Collaboration before code.
Start the project on GitLab before there’s any code, even if there’s a strong chance that there won’t ever be any code.
Based on who sponsors Drupal events, the money in Drupal is entirely with the specialized hosting providers. Drupal as a Service like Drutopia is potentially a way to bring some of that money into funding software development.
(Or maybe better for them not to live on GitLab during ideation, but use a GitLab API for bringing )
Projects for me to post
- the ultimate estimation + time tracking + project management tool (relevant for Drutopia partners)
- allow members to tell you where they’ll be and allow you to tell member where you’ll be, with more prominent/personalized messages going when you know you’ll be in the same place, and . So the idea that with one API a person can share their location, on a very non-specific level (Stimulated by no one showing up to the Drutopia BoF Saturday afternoon at BADCamp. I’m sure we have some signed-up supporters in the bay area.)
- Ability to post to various social media from your site. Sometimes you just want to post, and not get sucked into the content stream. Reactions on social media, meanwhile, come to your site so you can deal with it centrally and feature it on your web site and your terms rather than an ephemeral, not-under-your control stream on Facebook or Twitter.
Drupal user groups! If you want to be able to hack a bit on Drupal 8 for your local web site
- Don’t be the one hero. Forge alliances. Find a tribe that also believes we can make things better.
- Learn from each other. Encourage each other. We can only make the most impact if we put our brains together and combine our expertise. Take a look at analogous areas and see what they’re doing. Maybe you can take something from that.
- Meet people where they are. Don’t forget that we are all human, and all personally struggling with different things.
- Design the narratives for where we all want to go. Decide what the incentives should be. We have to plan ahead in order to secure the futures we want.

Finally gave in - people bugging us for this i knew were good front-end developers
they’re managing too many sites, they just want to throw flexbox in some weird ways. We only allow so many characters.
If you add more than 100 lines of CSS to this window, you should be subtheming.
problem could be easily solved by another module, so have some in the system but off by default
I started working there 5 years ago, they were trying to figure out how many sites we had, what servers they were on. There was the central infrastructure
Acquia or something did a scan on our domain name– 10,000 web sites and we only knew where 200 were.
“We need to find a way to control this” - but don’t really have a carrot or stick.
Rather than a policy, we’d attract them by building something they wanted
a little bit of a challenge, all been writing open source code, we haven’t quite
officially not allowed to contribute anything
CIOS have been made aware and have to fight with the lawyers for ten years
got permission for something, pattern lab or distribution and it was a big deal
Open Berkeley has their own license, and ours is a variation of that.
Do you build it as a wide-open platform or do you pick a niche
