DRIES’S DREAM

ELIMINATE MIDDLE MAN

ELIMINATE MIDDLE MAN
“There is no reason open source software should be limited to technical
users. (...) When was the last time you hired a web master to hand-craft your
website and content using XHTML and CSS ?”

GET RID OF THE DEVELOPER

“My vision for Drupal is to do the same for the developers (role). I think there
is a lot of room to eliminate the traditional web developer. Eliminating might
be a bit too strong, but re-deﬁne the role of the web developer at least.”

“The way we try to accomplish this in Drupal is with a modular approach so
users can build web sites quickly without having to do any programming. In
other words, one does not have to be a true developer to build a feature rich
and interactive website”

GET RID OF THE DESIGNER ?

WHO’S LEFT ?
✤ Robert Douglas

WHO’S LEFT ?
“Eliminate the webmasters, programmers and designers, and who is left ?
The core maintainers. Now we know your secret plan, Dries!”
✤ Robert Douglas

ADD MORE POWER EVERY RELEASE
✤ add and use new technology
✤ move contrib to core
✤ contrib developers become core developers
✤ maybe even become core maintainers
