A Glimpse into Drupal's Open Source Process

Drupal is free and open-source software. Anybody can download, use, modify, repackage, and redistribute it (event at a price,) freely. Open source is not only key to its distribution but also its development, culture, and very nature.

The Path to Richer Text: Input Format Improvements in Drupal 7
David Rothstein

Adding input formats to main permissions lists -- this role can use this input format. Not quite in D7 core yet.

Warnings on permissions page for allowing unsafe formats? New patch needed.

Must get rid of allowing setting of site-wide default text format.

The Talking Stage

  • There is no shortcut
  • Clients are the experts on their needs, though they don't always know how to express that, but your'e the expert on getting them there. Show what you know, but listen.

Selling Drupal Services (DrupalCon DC 2009 notes)

Selling You and Your (Drupal) Services
Neil Giarratana

True genius is pulling threads out of the ether, and giving them reality. "Oh wow, nobody's ever said that?"

If you do the right thing, winning takes care of itself.

What you're selling is invisible.

The true product of a business is the business itself.
