drupal: product, framework, or platform?
DESCRIPTION
In its ten year history, Drupal has grown from a scrappy dorm project to an open source powerhouse that powers 1 in every 50 web sites. As the project and its community have expanded, however, the number of diverse stakeholders and guiding interests have multiplied. That's meant an ongoing tug-of-war for the project's direction, and the challenge of pleasing everyone has put increasing pressure on the developer community. As a community, we need to buckle down and make real choices about how we'll address the needs of our stakeholders, how we'll balance competing interests, and how we'll protect our limited developer resources from burnout while we're at it.TRANSCRIPT

We’re all invested.
We’re all invested.
We have decisionsto make
No, seriously. We have tomake some real decisions.
Stop doing stuff
Call Drupal mature,fix the bugs, andgo drink daiquiris
on the beach.
Give ‘emthe boot
Narrow our focus!Anyone who doesn’t fit
can use WordPress.
Or Django.
Maybe SharePoint.
Work harder
Expend more andmore energy to keep
more and more people happy with one piece
of software.
Just forkalready
Accept the fact that people with similar
needs and a differentvision will fork Drupal.
Encourage it.

Prepare for separation
Treat our framework, oursite-building product, and other
targeted products as a platform.
Why a platform?

It lets us haveour cake, and
eat it too.
OK, sure.But how?
Agree on the goal Good at tactics, terrible at strategy:
We must have a shared dream.
Organize the garage
Separate “product pieces”from the “toolbox pieces”
used to build them.
Grow Products Cultivate and encourage user
focused products, separated byinstall profiles.

Accept bloat
If we build productsinto Drupal, corewill get larger.
…Temporarily.
Separate! Spin viable products out, separate the framework.

Product? Framework?
Platform?
Drupal isa platform.
We build products on it for ourselves,for our clients, and our peers.
The “framework” is our shared toolbox:we improve it so products can thrive.
Let’s treat itlike one.
