“Dries certainly doesn't need a recommendation from me, but I want to publicly commend his leadership. I worked in Acquia's Product Management org for close to four years, and in that time I grew to know Dries not only as a Founder and CTO, but as a thoughtful, empathetic and approachable leader with integrity to boot. Acquia is a large company, and despite the demands on his time between Acquia and Drupal, Dries still managed to forge trusting relationships with his employees, no matter how far down the reporting chain. Building great products and services starts with building a great team, and building a great team starts with trust. And Dries excels there. So while this is a recommendation ostensibly for Dries, it's more so a recommendation for anyone considering working for him or working with him: you won't regret it.”

A more accurate framing would be that Fizzy is source available. You can read it, run it, and modify it. But DHH’s company is keeping the SaaS rights…

37signals released a new product, Fizzy. They're calling it open source. I call it source-available. But why not Fair Source?…

Strengthening Agencies Against Future Funding Uncertainty Federal funding priorities can shift unexpectedly, making it essential for agencies to maximize their existing resources to sustain mission-critical programs. While the recent funding freeze was targeted and temporary, it serves as a reminder that proactive financial strategies are crucial. At Aptemiz, we specialize in optimizing indirect cost rates and cost plans to help agencies unlock budgeted dollars and reinvest those funds where they’re needed most. These improvements not only address immediate financial needs but also create a strategic buffer for future uncertainties. In our latest blog, Unlocking More Grant Dollars: The Power of Strategic Cost Allocation and Indirect Cost Plans, we break down how agencies can: ✅ Maximize indirect cost reimbursements ✅ Draw down existing grant funds instead of relying on general funds ✅ Reinforce financial resilience for future funding shifts 💡 Now is the time to secure existing grant dollars and safeguard future funding. Let’s connect to explore how Aptemiz can help your agency optimize its financial strategy. 📖 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gfQtnM7J
