We sold Drupal to the world, now we must support it. Here’s how:
Drupal over the past several years, has largely been a technology solution that basically sells itself. From huge organizations (like NYSE, NBC, Sony, Pfizer) to entire governments (see https://groups.drupal.org/government-sites) to well established educational institutions (such as Yale, MIT, UMASS) much of the world has standardized on Drupal as their solution for millions of websites.
As an open source community, an amazing solution has been built by them. Which has been adopted by the world, and now is the time to support it.
