Acquia Drupal: How does it benefit community modules and maintainers?

Posted on April 29, 2009 - 19:38 by Nate Haug.

When Acquia initially announced it would include one of my modules (Fivestar) in their original "Carbon" proposal, I was completely thrilled. From what I had heard, Acquia would provide support for that module, working with their clients to resolve issues and reporting bugs and patches back into the Drupal.org issue queue to get the issues fixed. That was stellar news at the time, since I'm usually overwhelmed with the amount of work required by maintaining my contributed modules.

At the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco last week I attended the session "Community Building: Good, Bad, and Ugly." More than anything else, it reminded me of the "Building Community" session hosted by Laura Scott of pingVision that I attended a year ago at the OSCMS 2007 conference in Sunnyvale last April. I went to Laura's session with no expectations (there was nothing else in that time slot I wanted to attend) and was really pleased to find the discussion relevant with tangible, actionable ideas I understood and could use. I've been meaning to post my notes from that session for a year and now I'm finally motived. So, here they are!
