The Drupal Association is excited to host "Pitch-burgh", an innovation contest, at DrupalCon Pittsburgh and to invite community members to propose their ideas for innovating Drupal, with the top ideas receiving funding.
Beyond just hosting the contest, the Drupal Association is committing funds to make a direct financial investment in the best ideas and will provide management resources to support taking pitches from idea to implementation. Additionally, we will work with other “sharks” to put together the necessary resources to make these ideas a reality.
Information about how to participate and submit your ideas can be found here.
The brainchild of Dries Buytaert, “Pitch-burgh” is the first of a series of initiatives that the Drupal Association will be undertaking to speed up innovation of Drupal as part of a strategic plan created by the Association’s Board of Directors To maintain Drupal as the best CMS in the world and an impactful champion of the Open Web, we need to continually explore where it needs to go next. What better way to do that than to tap into our very creative and very dedicated global community?
Let the pitches begin!
