Standards like the LAMP Stack, GitHub and Stack Overflow did such a good job of popularizing open source that they practically made it obsolete. Just like “mobile phones” are simply becoming “phones”, “open source software” is simply becoming “software”. This is an incredible win for open source. But it comes with new challenges: how to actually manage demand and workflows, how to encourage contributions, and how to build antifragile ecosystems. We may not feel the burden yet, but winter is coming. In a post open source world, these are problems we’ll all have to contend with.
$500k should be directly allocated to external maintainers and expert-level Drupal developers in the community This would ensure that we would have a group of leaders in the project who could immediately understand the correct D8 approach, quickly turn around a D8 version of a module and un-block the patch-acceptance process by working with their connections in the Drupal community. All external contributors would be paid at a community rate to magnify the benefit of the development fund

When faced with requirements that threaten to break the budget, blow the scope, derail the schedule and generally destroy a project, there is one magic word that can come to the rescue. Why. Asking “Why?” can help clarify, or neutralize, potentially destructive requirements and ultimately save the day.

Last week we released BAT - our Bookings and Availability Management toolkit as well as a Drupal module for BAT. We are using BAT to build the new version of our Rooms module as well as other products. However, BAT is much more than an engine for nightly bookings. It also allows us to build any sort of booking / resource management tool. So we asked: "What would it take to build a resource management tool to manage ourselves?".
