State of Drupal keynote, DrupalCon Amsterdam
The document discusses strategies for sustaining open source projects like Drupal that rely on volunteer contributions. It notes challenges around maintaining motivation as projects grow larger and more complex. It proposes tracking contributions from individuals, organizations, and end users to give them recognition and incentivize continued involvement. Tracking different types of contributions beyond just code could help capture an organization's full participation.
