Whose Job Is It? Help the Drupal Association Answer that Question
A while ago I shared that we are trying to better understand who plays what role in the Drupal Community. A small team of Association Board and staff have done some interviews with about 20 community members and now we want to get a broader understanding - what are the issues that concern you, and who should be doing the work to address them?
We're reaching out to our most active community members to ask you to complete a survey about who you think should be doing what in our community.
How the Drupal community and Association staff (as part of that community) work together to support the Drupal project is a question that we are excited to come to some agreement around. Your participation in this survey will help us answer some of the questions we have raised and create a more productive and meaningful path forward.
We would like you to share with us your answers to the following questions about the various aspects of the Drupal project and community:
- Who decides? Which person or entity gets to make the final call about what direction to take?
- Who does the work? For every decision that is made, who ensures that the work is complete?
- Who is consulted? Who needs to be heard before a decision is made and/or throughout implementation?
The work of the community is incredibly broad, so there are lots of places we need feedback. However, we didn't want this survey to be overly-long, so you can pick and choose which areas of work you would like to inform.
For each area of work, we want to you to tell us how various groups of people should be engaged. The audiences are:
- Community Volunteers
- Drupal Association
- Drupal.org Working Groups
- Drupal Association Marketing Committee
- Core Maintainers
- Project Maintainers
- Security Team
- Infrastructure Team
- Consultant (Someone the Association would hire)
Have questions? Let us know. You can reach me at holly@association.drupal.org
